WhiteBeard is a technology company founded in 2011 with offices in Amsterdam and Beirut

Our story

Hand in hand with journalists, editors and marketing experts, we have developed WhiteBeard News Suite. This product ecosystem brings together all the building blocks a modern media requires in terms of content production, distribution and monetization. Today, this solution is used by over 2 000 journalists in 30 newsrooms.

Our philosophy

We believe that the profound upheavals experienced by the media since the advent of the Internet and, more recently, generative AI, should be an opportunity to diversify the sources of revenue needed to develop quality journalism. A software will never replace original checked information production, however it can enhance the way it is disseminated and monetized.

Our team

Based in Europe and the Middle East, our 33 professional team is composed of consultants, product officers, project managers and developers (full-stack).
