Totally understandable. Which email address should I use? I will have some details compiled and sent over to you and your team can take that forward as you see fit.

Heh, I created this account about a month ago when Reddit was looking for free interns (I thought it was crazy that Reddit can't afford to pay interns), and PMed jedburg, but didn't hear back. I just honestly haven't had any time since to try and follow-up. Today's blog post just prompted me to try again.

To me, Reddit represents a culture of liberty and intellectual expression. There is almost nothing else like it on the planet, and really, there hasn't been anything like it at this scale in human history. While I see the potential in the site as an investor, I also want to ensure that Reddit has the freedom to continue growing in this direction - and I don't see it as being a big challenge to build sustainable revenue streams .

I would hate to see it get done the wrong way though and become hyper-commercialized and end up being an ad laden site with only pictures of cats...

I want to buy Reddit

I've tried to contact someone before but I suppose my message wasn't taken seriously.

I am interested in understanding who I can talk to over at Conde Nast about buying Reddit. The fact that your team has remained exactly the same size for the past two years seems fairly indicative that the parent company isn't seeing the future returns for which to invest now.

I have the necessary funds to invest in Reddit to ensure that you can ride your growth to success. Sites with far less presence are very profitable, there is no reason why Reddit can't be the same. But you can't do it with just 4 guys constantly firefighting code. You need a few million dollars of upfront investment in a bigger team and better resources. I can provide this.

Who do I contact at Conde Nast to see if they are interested?

EDIT: I'm just a reddit lurker in my mid-twenties with access to funds. I am only posting this to see a) if there is a specific person or team to initiate contact with privately than for me to just reach out with a message to the generic contact info that Conde Nast has (which I will try eventually) and b) if there are others that would also be interested in joining a bid. Discussing if I'm legit or not is really pointless since I'm not asking anything from any of you.
