Had a good free coaching session and want a way to pay it forward?

Donate to our Beta fund.

It’s called Spiffy (for Splice Pay It Forward Fund), and it’s the Splice community way of making sure people who can’t afford planes and hotels can still make it to Splice Beta, our annual community media festival.

Let’s make sure everybody gets access, opportunities, and a seat at the table.

THIS DOES NOT BUY A BETA TICKET. This is your donation to our little fund (called Spiffy, for the Splice Pay It Forward Fund) so we can all help folks who couldn’t otherwise afford planes and hotels to get to Splice Beta in Chiang Mai. We'd like to thank you publicly on our website and other materials, but let us know if you'd rather stay anonymous.

We started Splice to help media businesses become viable.

And that starts with the people behind them: Media entrepreneurs, journalists, newsroom leaders, mid-career news professionals, startup founders, creators, freelancers — people like you.

We can help you get unstuck. Book a free introductory chat.
