You bring the local audience. We run the rest. 50/50.
Monetize the local audience you already built. Fractals partners exclusively with one social operator per market — a Facebook group/page owner or hyperlocal creator with real local reach. You bring distribution and optional content; we operate the site, civic coverage, analytics, email/SMS/social/print, notices, and monetization ops so your attention turns into shared revenue.
Apply with your social links — tell us your market and audience. No population-tier checkout required to start.
One partner. One market. Split the revenue.
This is not a population-based monthly claim fee. The primary offer is monetizing your existing audience through an exclusive partnership: you bring distribution and local trust; Fractals runs the local information operating system and monetization ops. You keep 50% of revenue.
You bring reach
FB group/page owners and hyperlocal creators with real followers in one town or metro.
Exclusive market
One Fractals partner per market — protected territory while you grow together.
You can add content
Contribute local voice and stories when you want — without running the whole newsroom.
We run almost everything else
Site, civic coverage, analytics, email/SMS/social/print, notices, and monetization ops.
Andover-style partnership: proximity + audience.
Partnerships with a high-follower social operator nearby worked because the partner already had trust and local reach — and lived close enough to care. Fractals supplied the platform and operations; the social operator supplied the audience.
That pattern is the model: exclusive local partner, shared upside, Fractals operating the machine.
A nearby operator who already knows the town, schools, businesses, and civic pulse.
An existing FB group/page or hyperlocal following that converts into owned distribution.
Fractals runs coverage, channels, notices, and monetization so the partner is not alone.
Aligned incentives — grow local revenue together instead of paying a fixed claim tier.
Keep the civic function. Replace the broken machinery.
The community newspaper used to be the town square, the archive, the watchdog, the calendar, the public notice board, and the local business marketplace. Most communities did not lose the need for those functions. They lost the economic engine that paid people to do them manually.
As a Fractals partner, you get that institution as software and workflows — while your audience and local voice sit at the center.
Manual coverage meant public meetings, courts, notices, and small events were the first things to disappear.
AI-assisted workflows monitor sources, draft routine coverage, and keep humans focused on judgment.
A print paper or website waited for readers to show up.
Email, SMS, social, web, and mailed print editions carry local information to the community.
Built for people who already hold local attention.
Primary partners are social operators with real local reach. Existing publishers can still add Fractals as a secondary Data Layer product.

Civic & Local Builders

Not just stories. The operating layer for local life.
A modern community newspaper has to collect local signal, turn it into useful information, invite the community to participate, distribute everywhere, and create enough revenue to survive.
Fractals brings those pieces into one repeatable market system — operated with you, not dumped on you.
