Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 5:11pm on Monday, March 16th, 2009 | March 2, 2009: Matt Snyders of The City Pages wrote about the business model of MinnPost:
"Last week, MinnPost announced that for the first time it had garnered one million pageviews in the last 31 days—triple what it had achieved just 12 months earlier. But along with this hope came grimmer news: The site revised downward its initial projections and now doesn't expect to break even until 2012—more than a year behind schedule.
"One of our biggest strategic goals is to break even absent the support of foundations," says Kramer, who raised $1.1 million in start-up funds from a combination of investors and a $250,000 grant from the Miami-based James L. Knight Foundation. "Long-term, we would like to wean ourselves off needing foundation money and become a sustainable nonprofit on the basis of revenue from our sponsorship, advertising, and membership.""
