Industry leaders Gold House and Kargo support the next phase of growth for Cold Tea Collective and AAPI publishers
For nearly eight years now, Cold Tea Collective has been working to center the stories and voices of the next generation of the Asian diaspora.

Gold Publishers accelerates the growth of Asian Pacific-owned publications through access to exclusive Gold House members and events for incremental content opportunities, community education and training, as well as ad tech infrastructure support and ad revenue through Kargo’s Multicultural Content Amplifier.
