The Skimm co-founders Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg, college friends-turned news producers-turned roommates, created The Skimm as a news source that spoke to smart, busy people and gave them their news in a way that fit into their routine. Like many entrepreneurs, Carly and Danielle launched The Skimm right from their couch in 2012 when they noticed more and more people coming to them with basic questions about the daily news. What started with an (enormously popular) daily email newsletter has since expanded to include an app, podcasts and more. Carly and Danielle have raised more than $30 million in funding, most recently in a round led by Google Ventures and Spanx founder Sara Blakely. Tune into this debut (!) episode of The Partner Ship to learn about how they've scaled their startup into a bona fide media company — and how they've done so together, every step of the way.
