Their Story

From Dartmouth to Digital Media

Joshua Riddle and David Rufful are entrepreneurs, publishers, and the co-founders of Young Conservatives LLC and VIP Ad Solutions LLC. They are also co-founders of AnalyzingAmerica.org, one of the pioneering digital media brands serving conservative audiences.

While students at Dartmouth College, both played Division I college basketball while also serving as editors of The Dartmouth Review. That combination of competition, publishing, and political commentary helped shape the work they would build together after college.

Their work with Young Conservatives has been featured across national media, including Fox News, HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, and numerous television, radio, and digital outlets. In recognition of their leadership and influence, they have been named among the most influential Republicans in the country for their impact on conservative media and political communications.

Analyzing America brings together the publishing experience, audience insight, and distribution scale they have developed over more than a decade.
