How Telescope WorksA network for people with taste
Telescope is a member-funded network where members share the best recommendations. It is the ultimate resource for the worldly and the discerning.

Think city guides curated by natives; beloved products from people who use and stand by them; reading lists from people whose libraries you trust; that friend everyone texts for a restaurant recommendation with years of saved links and insights. Telescope is a home for them, for you, for curators.
A few recommendations shared by our members.
MembershipTelescope members pay $6 per month or $50 per year, which includes:
  • —Access to all members-only collections
  • —Ability to create members-only collections
  • —A share of the member profit pool when your collections resonate
  • —Early access to new features
Discovery without algorithmsSubscribe to members whose taste you trust. What they share is what you get, direct and in one place. No feed optimizing for time-on-app, no algorithm deciding what surfaces.
The platform earns when you doHalf of Telescope’s revenue goes back to members, distributed by how much their members-only collections resonate with other members. Telescope’s revenue and members’ earnings come from the same source. The platform, and members, earns more when member curation resonates.
Independent by designNo investors. No ads. No agenda beyond making this a good place to be. Telescope is sustained entirely by its members, which means Telescope is only accountable to its members.
Tools tailored to curationAdd recommendations in seconds. Telescope handles the metadata and details so you can curate with ease and share without friction.
Telescope is built by its members.
Come be one of them.
