Origin Story

rganic was born out of putting two and two together. The founding braintrust, a serial SaaS investor and Salesforce-trained, media-seasoned engineer, couldn’t believe how much their media colleagues struggled to operate publishing businesses in the digital-first world. For one, category-knowledgeable creators—true experts in their field working at publisher brands with hundreds of years of established operating experience—still struggled to navigate Google Search users to their content. Second, monetization of high-trafficked news pieces would halt behind hard-to-use, legacy-established web engineering ad products, as well as clunky CMS infrastructure.

To complete the superteam, the two recruited a personable, lifelong engineer-turned-affiliate publisher, and a UT Austin-taught, lifelong web designer to create: #1- a modern, stable codebase and engineering architecture that could easily connect to tech giants; #2- easy-to-use online tools for design-savvy publishers to publish content and track results; and #3- elegant, integrated ads and content web experiences that simultaneously drive revenue growth and audience retention.

From there, the team partnered with category-leading publications they saw floundering under legacy media ownership groups. Utilizing Organic’s tech expertise, the publishers soon earned as much money in a month as they had previously in a year. Rinse and repeat with other established publishers with equally impressive legacies, resulting in further validation for Organic’s thesis.
