GREENVILLE, S.C., February 1, 2021 (Newswire.com) - 6AM City recently closed a Series Seed funding round led by Harbright Ventures and VentureSouth, fueling growth and positioning the company for national expansion and profitability in 2021. 6AM is homegrown in the southeast, with its headquarters in Greenville, SC, and has raised almost $4M to date with 95% of funding coming from angel investors in the markets it serves.
6AM will double in size, starting with the launch of NASHtoday (Nashville, TN) in March, to join 7 existing southeastern markets and 300,000+ subscribers.
In addition to launching NASHtoday, 6AM is evaluating over a dozen cities for a 2021 launch, many of which are in the southeastern quadrant of the United States.
Expansion conversations are being driven by interest from local economic developers, investors, advertisers, editorial talent, and publishers with established audiences. 6AM is launching a PickMyCity initiative to expedite expansion efforts, led by VP of Expansion, Michael Mazzara. He will be responsible for selecting new cities, establishing local launch partnerships, and securing investments and audience partnerships to accelerate national expansion.
6AM has positioned itself as a catalyst driving economic impact and helping cities to attract and retain the very best talent by educating and activating current and prospective residents. As more professionals and retirees are evaluating their options for which cities they will call home, cities are now in a race to stand out as attractive locations. 6AM is a marketing machine for the cities it serves.
6AM works with local, regional, and national advertising partners. Over 30% of its advertising partnerships are multi-market placements, and with the addition of even more markets in 2021, we will continue to strengthen our ability to serve regional and national brand messaging locally.
