The Outline has created a original system that allows individual ideas to take their ideal form, beyond article and slideshow formats. The design empowers creators to build unique experiences, and brings those experiences to users in a fluid, swipe-driven approach focused on natural, mobile storytelling.
Independent Media and The Outline are funded by some of the most influential investors in media, including RRE Ventures, investors in BuzzFeed, Business Insider, and Huffington Post; Boat Rocker Media, producers of BBC America and Spaces’ Orphan Black; Advancit Capital, co-founded by Shari Redstone, vice-chairman of CBS and Viacom, and NextView Ventures.
