Reporter Wanted (Startup, Business) ~ $325 per article

We're looking for a freelance reporter who has experience covering the startup world or business to join us in a freelance capacity for They Got Acquired. Our mission is to change the definition of startup success by covering 6-, 7-, and 8-figure acquisitions in the online space. You'll tell the stories of these companies and the founders that grew them, in a fun voice that's interesting to read. We enjoy storytelling, puns and fun leads, while still upholding accuracy and attribution.
You’ll write stories about online businesses that have sold for 6, 7 and 8 figures, spotlighting companies and founders the world might not otherwise learn from.
Post length: Around 600 words, though some go longer if the story is interesting and some are shorter if we don’t have many details. We prefer anecdotal or creative leads.
Assignments: We’ll assign companies for you to cover. No need to pitch us ideas.
Interviews: These are one-interview stories. We usually provide a survey form the founder has filled out, and you follow up with the founder with questions to fill any gaps. You’re welcome to conduct that interview via email, phone or whatever method works for you and the founder.
Research: We typically provide a list of resources as a starting point, and we expect you to look around for other sources as well.
Headlines and data: We ask you to suggest headlines and metadata, and we’ll provide guidance for writing them. We also ask you to add to our database any additional information you discover through your reporting.
Edits: We prefer to have one round of edits, though some stories require more.
Tools: We collaborate with writers via track changes in Google Docs and assign stories via ClickUp.
Monthly compensation (4 posts): $1,300
