Prime Economist Kickstarter Campaign
Why We're Launching This Campaign
Prime Economist is more than just an online magazine. It's an idea. A movement. A space for those who seek clarity over noise, depth over headlines, and ideas that don’t play it safe.
With this Kickstarter campaign, we’re taking the next bold step — building a media platform that speaks truth to power, nurtures new voices, and inspires meaningful dialogue about business, economics, politics, and culture.
We’re already read in over 25 countries, with 70+ original features published. Now, we’re ready for the next leap.
This campaign isn't just about raising funds — it’s about shaping something bigger, together.
Our Mission
We aim to create a world-class hub for the next generation of business thinkers, cultural commentators, and creative entrepreneurs. With your support, we will:
- Scale our signature Weekly Digest into a dynamic YouTube news show — visually engaging, insightful, and smart.
- Build a fully equipped visual studio with cinematic production tools and real-time graphics.
- Launch original series on startups, business analysis, new technologies, and cultural insight.
- Develop interview-based programmes featuring top voices across industries.
- Grow into a full-scale independent video news channel, with complete creative control.
- Release the Prime Economist app for Smart TVs and mobile — your media in one place.
- Build the PE Community — a creative, strategic network shaping our magazine’s future.
Where We're Headed: 12 Months From Now
If this campaign succeeds, here’s what you’ll see one year from today:
- A vibrant YouTube channel with weekly visualised digests, original programming, and behind-the-scenes features.
- A professional news studio with lighting, editing, live effects, and a signature visual style.
- A series of deep-dive interviews with entrepreneurs, thinkers, and change-makers.
- Immersive news content — think Vice meets Monocle, but fully creator-owned.
- A bold editorial voice with zero corporate filters — 100% free-thinking editorial.
- A growing team of contributors, collaborators, and early believers shaping the platform together.
Our Long-Term Vision (2–3 Years Ahead)
We don’t plan to stay still. Here’s what we envision in the coming years:
- A limited-edition print version of Prime Economist, distributed quarterly and packed with rare insights, in-depth essays, and visual storytelling.
- A members-only Business Club, where founders, strategists, and investors meet to exchange ideas, attend private events, and spark collaboration.
- Hosting flagship events and conferences, both online and offline, where real conversations happen.
- Establishing the Prime Awards — recognising bold innovations, influential voices, and emerging talent across business, technology, and media.
