Ryan Singel is a former journalist, the co-founder of Outpost Publishing Cooperative, and a co-founder of Contextly.
Outpost helps membership-driven and newsletter-focussed publications thrive, by providing enterprise-level software to publishers of all sides. Working alongside the open-source Ghost CMS, Outpost provides tools that help publishers grow their free audience, convert free subscribers to paid, and automate business processes to help publishers focus on publishing.
Prior to launching Outpost, Singel co-founded Contextly, a recommendation engine for publishers that helps publications provide relevant and trending recommendations back to their own content, using machine learning and AI.
Singel started Contextly after 10 years as a writer and editor at Wired, and growing frustrated with the state of editorial tools.
