We're very proud that Ghost has raised over $8,200,000 directly from the world's most prominent investors in the space we're in: Our customers.
Ghost started with a $350,000 Kickstarter campaign in 2013 and has been profitable every single year since the beginning. We've made over $8M from customers in return for 0% equity and, as a non-profit organisation, we plan to stay fully independent: Forever!
Our business model is to make a product people love and then provide world-class infrastructure and management for it, you can read more about it on our about page.
As I predicted, substack writers are leaving for @ghost (according to this @pkafka story)

Ghost is 99% cheaper because is charging based on a SaaS model -- I am not an investor in GHOST but I would love to be! Hit me up team GHOST https://t.co/VFEvgvzH3A
Very kind!

But we're a non-profit org with no share capital making free open source software - so there's nothing to invest in :)
Lots of people choose Ghost because we've structured ourselves to be permanently independent.
