Roca is one of the fastest growing media companies in the world. Within one year, our Instagram hit 1M followers and we launched a daily newsletter. This is because Roca is a media company building a community around the news that lowers the blood pressure and covers topics you actually care about. The news shouldn't be alarmist and partisan: It should be nonpartisan, balanced, and informative. We don't consider ourselves to be a life-saving force from heaven, but we do believe there is no news platform that can deliver modern news like Roca can: factual and enjoyable. We care deeply about engaging our users and cultivating a community around the platform. We consider you -- our audience -- our number one priority and want you each to be the most interesting person at happy hour. "Roca" is short for "Pororoca," a biannual wave that sweeps the Amazon River. Surfers come from across the world to surf the Pororoca; it's a wave that brings people together. That's Roca's mission with the news. Become a rider @RidetheNews and sign up for our daily newsletter the Roca Daily here:
