Newsifier is a Dutch software-as-a-service company that provides a content management system built specifically for news publishers. Founded in May 2020 by Gerard Kijlstra and co-founder Eric, the platform offers SEO-optimized publishing tools, live blog functionality, and editorial analytics designed to help commercial publishers grow traffic and increase revenue. As of October 2021, roughly 17 months after launch, Newsifier had eight paying customers generating approximately $26,000 in monthly recurring revenue, equivalent to roughly $312,000 on an annualized basis. The company is fully bootstrapped and profitable, with all founders drawing salaries below those of their engineering staff. The company's five-person team is based in the Netherlands and serves Dutch publishers across niches including sports, cryptocurrency, technology, and tennis. Kijlstra has set a target of reaching $200,000 in monthly recurring revenue within 15 months of the interview date, and the company's first hire, who became CTO, was in the process of investing $50,000 into the business.
