The Medium Mafia

Medium wasn’t built to play nice. It was built to blow up old-school publishing.

Founded in 2012 by Twitter's Evan Williams, it made one promise: real stories, no gatekeepers.

But building a platform for other people's voices came with a twist: it also attracted and trained a generation of startup founders. The inside culture of raw ambition and creative freedom forged people who weren’t just shipping posts, they were secretly gearing up to ship their own companies.

Today, the Medium Mafia is rewriting the startup playbook, one breakout company at a time.

‍

The Medium Mafia has founded 32 companies and raised $14B.
