The Missed Bit
Become a sponsor

Reach a
hard-to-buy
audience.

The Missed Bit goes to makers, designers, and AI & tech professionals who delete most of what lands in their inbox — and read this. One sponsor per issue, written to the same standard as the rest.

Why it works

01

One sponsor per issue

No ad block, no competitor in the same issue, no scroll-past. For one morning, the only brand in front of this audience is yours.

02

Written in our voice

We write your placement to read like The Missed Bit — clear, dry, useful. Ads that don't feel like ads get read.

03

Premium company

Your brand sits beside reporting from only the most credible outlets — and nothing that cheapens the page.

Who’s reading?
Makers, designers, founders, and operators who follow AI and tech closely and have little patience for noise. They chose a briefing that filters for them — your placement reaches people who read on purpose, not scroll past.
How engaged are they?
High intent. Every reader opted in to a daily read that lands before the day starts — The Missed Bit is a morning habit, not another item in a feed. One sponsor per issue means that attention isn't shared.
Which bit fits my product?
The AI Bit reaches people building with AI — models, tools, and the money behind them. The Tech Bit reaches people buying and shipping hardware, platforms, and consumer tech. Sponsor one or both — we'll tell you honestly which fits.
You write it — do we approve it?
Yes. We write the placement in our voice, then send you the draft for approval before it goes out — nothing runs without your sign-off.
What about reach and open rates?
The media kit has our list size as of the day we send it, the three placements, and what each costs. We're early, so the numbers are small — we'd rather show them than talk around them. Request it and we'll send them with current availability.
How does pricing work?
Rates are flat per issue — one price per placement, the same for both Bits, listed in the media kit. They reflect the current list size and rise as it grows. Tell us what you're launching and we'll name the placement that fits.

Acme Type puts a type foundry in your browser

Most type tools make you choose between control and speed. Acme Type puts both in the browser: tune optical sizing, spacing, and contrast on live text, compare cuts side by side, and watch every weight re-render as you drag. When it reads right, one click ships the font files and the CSS — variable axes included, no plugin, no round-trip to the design team.

The quiet win is licensing: every export carries a plain-language license that covers web, app, and print in one line, so legal review stops being the slow step. Teams on the beta report shipping a full brand face in days, not weeks — landing pages, app UI, and email included. Acme Type is free while it's in beta; bring one real project and see how far you get before Friday.

Ship a custom font this week

Acme Type tunes your typeface in the browser — optical sizing, spacing, and contrast, adjusted on live text and rendered at every weight — then exports the font files plus CSS in one click. No plugin, no license maze: each export ships with a single one-line license that covers web, app, and print.

It's built for the week you actually have. Start from any open face, adjust until it reads like yours, and ship — teams on the beta report cutting a fonts project from weeks to days. Free while it's in beta.
