Bindery Books, Inc.

Bindery Books Inc. is a tech-enabled book publishing platform that engages social media influencers to connect books directly with communities of engaged readers. 

By helping new books find their audience, Bindery Books addresses a key challenge faced by traditional publishers while reducing business risk and marketing costs. More importantly, this approach allows Bindery Books to publish emerging, diverse authors who are telling stories that matter to a broad set of readers.

The company is led by CEO, Matt Kaye, formerly with creator platform Patreon and Amazon Books; and President, Meghan Harvey Kaye, formerly at Girl Friday Productions.

Bindery Books aligns strongly with Upstart’s impact goals of Enabling Sustainable Creative Lives by generating income for authors; and contributing to an Inclusive Creative Economy by using technology to disrupt legacy publishing and help diverse writers get their stories told.
