Vourno is the premier crowdfunding platform and independent news network for video journalism.

Vourno provides journalists (Vournos) with the tools to raise capital for the creation and production of quality, newsworthy content and gives the public (Pubs) the ability to directly fund, share, watch and rate those stories. Any news story created by a journalist can be uploaded, showcased and distributed on our network. Vourno, headquartered in The Bronx, New York, launched in the U.S. on May 20, 2013, in Canada on July 9, 2013, in the UK on August 26, 2013 and in Ireland on September 25, 2013. On November 5, 2013, Vourno announced the launch of 'Upload A Video' feature on vourno.com. Vournos worldwide have the ability to directly upload any news story to vourno.com. Before this feature, Vournos could only post stories they created using the site's crowdfunding platform. The addition of 'Upload A Video' provides immediate growth and content to their news network and opens up their site to journalists around the globe seeking another distribution platform to showcase their work. Vournos can either upload an actual video file or provide a URL from their Vimeo or YouTube account. This new initiative provides Vournos with a central location to maintain, build and share their portfolio of work as well raise funds so they can create news stories that matter most to them.
