|
|
|
|
| Tealfeed, a knowledge-sharing platform founded by Rohit Garg and Sourabh Kaushik, has raised funds from a group of angel investors and existing investors through ah! Ventures Angel platform. ah! Ventures’ has done 123 investments in 92 Startups till date taking its total investment portfolio to INR 274 CR (~36 MN USD) with 14 exits and 23 follow on rounds. 23 investments have happened through all three platforms in 2022 till date. |
|
| Founded in April 2021, Tealfeed is building a global knowledge-sharing platform to empower creators and help people upskill themselves. An interesting study has revealed that more than 50% of kids want to become content creators when they grow up. Also, more than 50M professionals across the globe identify themselves as creators today. But, only 4% of these creators are currently able to make a full-time career as content creators. |
|
| A whole generation of creators are experiencing difficult business problems: building an audience, monetizing their content, and growing their business. Tealfeed is on a mission to help these creators attain financial freedom by providing them with monetization tools and a thriving community so they can focus on being creative and building the content that we all love.
|
|
| Speaking about the idea behind the platform, Rohit Garg, CEO and Co-founder of Tealfeed shared, “The ad-revenue and platform subscriptions models of large content platforms gives little or no control to content creators and that leads to financial instability amongst content creators. As a result, a very limited number of creators are able to make a career from their passion. Through Tealfeed, we envision giving control in the hands of content creators by empowering them to build their own audiences and monetize them. This also gives a free choice to users to only pay to the creators they love and would want to support. At the same, organizations are investing in the overall growth of their employees and providing them with subscription credits. Introducing a B2B subscription model and connecting the content creators with the working professionals of these organizations would only help people to upskill but would also provide more financial stability to the creators.” |
|
| In the last 11 months, Tealfeed has grown to 250K Monthly Active Users and more than 32,000 blogs have been published on Tealfeed with the majority of the creators sharing their knowledge in the fields of Technology, Programming, Design, Business, Startup, Leadership, and Marketing.
|
|
| Through these newly infused funds, Tealfeed will be scaling up its engineering and marketing team along with adding more creators to its platform. Tealfeed is also planning to raise a pre-series A round in the coming months to further boost the overall growth of the platform. |
|
| “By the end of the year, our goal is to empower creators by working closely with them to build a paying audience and introduce features that would make it easier for creators to engage with their followers. We are also planning to launch videos and podcasts this year to provide creators more flexibility in content creation.” Sourabh, Co-founder of Tealfeed, added.

|
| Amit Kumar, Senior Partner at ah! Ventures said, “We believe strongly that the Creators’ economy will continue to grow and prosper. Tealfeed continues to build a platform which the creators and users love and am sure will keep doing so. The team will always have our support in their future endeavours.”
