Ownership, Funding Info and Advertising Policy

SlashGear is owned and operated by Static Media Inc., a Delaware corporation. Static Media was founded in 2012 and is backed by Novacap. For more information visit: www.static.com. Static Media investors do not interact with or interfere with our editorial coverage decisions.

The vast majority of revenue that Static Media generates is from programmatic advertising through respected ad platforms such as Google. As such, the Static Media editorial staff are not influenced by direct sales opportunities with brands or advertisers. The editorial staff are also not involved in operating the programmatic advertising business, making them independent of significant revenue-generating activity. As our editorial staff is not involved in the ad experience, these ads do not reflect the views of Static Media and do not impact our coverage. However, our operations team is very focused on maintaining a high standard of quality.

In the event our sales team closes an advertising campaign, affiliate link or sponsorship, the posts will be clearly labeled with a disclosure statement.

The Static Media editorial team has existing relationships with major brands, manufacturers, and other partners which can result in exclusive content. Our staff follows a thorough ethics policy which governs our objectivity and limits this influence.
