RocaNews launched late 2020 with a mission to make the news easy, fact-first, and enjoyable. The three co-founders quit their jobs to build a better alternative to out-of-touch and partisan legacy news outlets, particularly for Gen Z and Millennials who are increasingly disengaged from the news. Roca delivers its content via social media (@RideTheNews on Instagram) and email to its growing audience of more than a million readers. Now, with this capital and a first-class tech team, Roca aims to build the dynamic tech platform that gamifies the news experience and provides digestible information to users. Newstech will become a huge space, and Roca intends to lead it.
