Where we are. Where we are going.
Public update. Quarterly. Numbers and deadlines.
Last updated · August 24, 2026The network as of August 2026.
Editorial side. We Them Media is a community-driven media platform, active across eight countries. Field footage and on-the-ground coverage. Contributors live where the story is. Season 01 opened June 1, 2026 and runs through November 30.
Commercial side. We Them Worldwide LLC contracts with brand clients. SuperBio, our production partner in Abuja, Nigeria (Bayo, Musah, Yama), handles production execution on B2B engagements.
Editorial stays independent and commercial pays the bills. Same network, two different products, and a separation we enforce rather than describe.
Revenue stage: pre-profit. Primary mix is commissioned production, monthly supporter donations via Fractured Atlas, and selective angel backing.
The summer we hit our stride.
The ETH Conf rollout. Our biggest push of the summer. Conference coverage releasing across the channel as part of Season 01, which opened June 1.
#QueryTheWorld kicked off. One question, put to people on their own streets across the network, answered on camera. See how it works.
We started fundraising. Recurring support went from zero to fourteen people at $159 a month, and The Dispatch launched as our newsletter with Kamal running research and co-authoring it.
More than thirty shorts went out between June and August, with long form now in rotation alongside them. We now post seven days a week across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X. This is the stretch where publishing on a schedule stopped being an intention and became a habit.
What that adds up to: we are stepping into being a platform. Putting the We Them Media catalog and archive out in the open is the foundation. Every piece we release is momentum that the next content initiative can build on instead of starting from zero. We are taking the community to market, and building something the community can use. If an ecosystem grows on top of that, good. That is the bet we are making.
We Them Worldwide has been worth every moment of this journey. I am proud for the world to see what I have spent these last few years doing.

Five things in motion.
- A full brief on the Pizza Day content. Published here. What the bounty produced, what the pieces cost, what worked and what we would do differently.
- $250 a month in committed support. Currently $159 across fourteen monthly supporters. Tracked live on the supporter page.
- ETH Conf coverage hosted on this site. Not just linked out to YouTube. The project lives here.
- One Question, 150 interviews by 4 November. The first campaign runs nine weeks from the Connect of 9 September. Twenty were in before it opened. Anyone can take part: film one, post it to X and tag us. Tracked on the One Question page.
- The Weekly Connect, back every Wednesday. The community call returns on 9 September at noon New York time, now with One Question running through it. Watched together, argued about, recorded and published.
Progress reported in the next quarterly update, September 2026.
By December 31.
- Season 01 fully launched.
- Hustle Yangu live as the WTM flagship show. In negotiation with Fidesio.
- First multi-year B2B engagement secured.
- Cooperative legal structure formalized.
What we are raising.
We are not raising a priced round at this time. Inbound investor conversations are welcome and we respond.
The current capital strategy is a mix of commissioned production revenue, monthly supporter donations via Fractured Atlas, and selective angel backing as the cooperative legal structure formalizes.
For investor inquiries, call Maceo directly, or DM any of our social pages and we will get you to him.
What we are still figuring out.
Distribution strategy across YouTube, the newsletter, and partner channels is still forming. We have a thesis. We do not yet have evidence.
The cooperative legal structure is being formalized. Counsel is engaged. The timeline is months, not weeks.
Pizza Day in May 2026 was a pilot for community activation. We are still learning what worked and what to repeat.
The Hustle Yangu flagship partnership is in negotiation with Fidesio. It is not signed.
The numbers in this document will be updated quarterly. They are honest as of the date above. The next update is September 2026.
