Must have experience working as a reporter in the business or startup worlds
We’re looking for several freelance reporters who have experience covering the startup world and/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. These deals don’t tend to get headlines because they don’t return huge multiples to investors, yet they can be life-changing for founders and offer valuable insights for the builder community.
You’ll tell the stories of these companies and the founders that grew them, in a fun voice that’s interesting to read.
These posts are typically 350-600 words, and our preference is for reporters to commit to submitting one each week. We like interesting, often-anecdotal leads whenever possible.
We’ll assign companies for you to cover, though you’re welcome to bring your own ideas as well.
You can see lots of examples of these posts on our website, including:
This is a remote position on a freelance basis. Work whenever you want and wherever you want, so long as you do the job well.
We pay an hourly rate or a per-post rate that’s based on experience.
We’re a new startup that’s still figuring things out. The ideal candidate wants to be part of that evolution.
Our mission at They Got Acquired is to redefine startup success by highlighting “small” exits, especially those by bootstrapped and underrepresented founders.
By joining us in these early days (we launched in February 2022), you’ll get to learn about what it takes to grow a media company from scratch.
Our team is entirely remote. We believe it’s possible to make a meaningful impact and reach millions of readers without working ourselves into the ground. We love this work — and we also enjoy life outside of work.

Here’s the application. No resume or cover letter required.
Look forward to hearing from you!
