Founder and CEO
InPress
Adam Harder is the CEO and Co-Founder of InPress, the first social news app that makes factual journalism engaging, rewarding, and socially connective. A former Air Force broadcast journalist, Adam led media teams abroad and earned multiple Telly Awards for his reporting. He later built video and marketing teams at global tech companies including Cisco, Isovalent, and DigitalOcean, gaining firsthand insight into how digital platforms capture and often distort public attention.
Adam founded InPress to flip that script, turning vetted news into a daily habit through swipeable AI-powered summaries, gamification, and social discovery. The app has already built the youngest and most engaged news audience in America, with retention more than five times higher than industry norms. Major publishers are now looking to partner with InPress to reach this audience.
Adam holds master’s degrees in Journalism Innovation from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School and in Integrated Marketing from Georgetown University.
