Founder story
Founded in 2014 by Kate Bradley Chernis, Jason Debacco, and Steve Onofretti in Stone Ridge, NY. Kate, a former SiriusXM producer, realized that the secret to high-performing content lay in the 'science' of patterns. She built Lately to automate the manual copywriting process she used to run a 20M+ member project for Walmart.
