STORY BOND’S MISSION IS TO BRING BRAVE, AMBITIOUS, TRUE STORIES TO A GLOBAL AUDIENCE.

What We Do

STORY BOND is a new investment fund and incubator that partners with journalists to bring powerful true stories to global audiences.

Founded by journalists for journalists, we identify, develop, and provide captivating content to publishers and platforms in film, TV, audio, books, articles, and stage.

With truth under threat everywhere the need for true stories is greater than ever. And so is the demand. That's why we are investing in early-stage, verified original content.

Story Bond is a new model for sustaining journalism; a revolving fund that preserves editorial independence, supports creators, and delivers impactful and commercially-viable factual content.
