For over a decade we’ve stood for a world where data can be understood by everyone.

Over that time, we’ve built an audience of over 85 million annual visitors, and now more than 300,000 people get our free daily email.

But all of that is just scratching the surface of what’s possible.

Introducing the VC App

Today we’re unveiling our team’s most ambitious project yet and we need your help. We’re using Kickstarter to raise funds to build the VC App, to put all of the world’s best data storytelling at your fingertips.

The VC App will be the first app of its kind, combining verifiable and transparent data with beautiful, memorable visuals.

Not only will it include the thousands of visualizations we’ve already created and will be making in the future – but more importantly, it will empower data-driven creators from around the world to share stories through data about pretty much anything.

If you believe in trustworthy, independent, and data-driven visual storytelling, please consider backing our Kickstarter.

Together we’ll move closer to a world where data can be understood by everyone.

Back us on

P.S. On the Kickstarter page you can find out about all the rewards you can get like early access to the VC App, exclusive invites and even lifetime subscriptions to our premium newsletter VC+.
