Allison Paz and the Creme de la Creme of Paid News!

Meet Allison Paz! She is an entrepreneur, investor, advisor, and the COO and Co-Founder of NICKLpass. You know when you have that problem where you go to read an article, you click on the link, and hit a paywall? Well NICKLpass is the technology so that you never have to see that again!

The way in which NICKLpass works is that their team starts with a base bundle where they know based on your role, industry, etc. what the publications are that you are reading. Then using their data they suggest other publications that your team should likely get, slowly rolling it out more widely to your organization. From there they can began making customized bundles for your team. With this pass businesses are able to access 100+ paid news subscriptions in a flash. Only 1 login is required for an entire team!

When Allison worked in banking, paywalls were a problem they constantly ran into when wanting to do research on a team, make an investment, look at a new sector, etc. Interestingly enough the way they would share news and information with each other was by printing out an article and leaving it on the conference table. Clearly this was not a very efficient way of circulating news between the team and realized that a lot of organizations also face the problem of not having news available to them when they need it. Therefore, she started NICKLpass and the rest is history!

Right now they are closing their series-A and are focused on tripling their revenue this year. They are also beginning to explore other product lines to publishers and end-users whether that’s a web app, recommendations, etc.
