Our.News operates a crowdsourced news validation platform that simplifies fact-checking and lets the public rate news on multiple factors. The platform combines crowdsourcing with patent-pending algorithms to provide neutral background data, ratings, sources, related articles, and other context. Founded in 2016 and led by CEO Richard Zack, the Troy, New York–based startup raised $100,000 in pre-seed funding. The company will use the funds to build on its existing beta prototype with the goal of a fully featured production release in Q2 2018. It announced a partnership with pollster John Zogb to help bring the platform to the public and previously partnered with Educational Vistas, Inc. to provide free tools to students in over 350 New York State school districts. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article.
