The Story

About USA Homepage

One canvas. One country. One moment.

USA Homepage is the United States, rendered in 2,500,000+ pixels — 10,000 for every year of American independence. Every block is a real place. Your hometown, your business, your story. Once the map fills, it's closed for good — a permanent portrait of America, made by the people who showed up.

In 2005, a 21-year-old named Alex Tew sold a million pixels for a million dollars on a single webpage — the Million Dollar Homepage, still online today as a folk artifact of the early internet. Twenty-one years later, two operators sitting in Philadelphia and Greenville saw a similar opportunity — finite digital real estate, claimed one block at a time — and, between them, the network and the expertise to scale it to a national canvas. So they asked the obvious question: what if this was the United States, on the country's 250th anniversary, with 10% of every dollar funding the public school classrooms that shaped us?

So Matthew Henderson and Ryan Heafy — co-founders of USA Homepage — built it. Matthew founded Good Daily, acquired by 6AM City in 2025, and leads engineering on USA Homepage. Ryan is co-founder and COO of 6AM City, the local newsletter network reaching readers across 400+ American markets every morning. Between them, the last decade has been local media, performance marketing, AI, and education technology — but the through-line is older than any of that: a long-standing belief that the highest-leverage thing anyone can do for the future is to create opportunities to improve educational outcomes today.

That's the bet. 10% of every dollar goes to America's public schools through DonorsChoose — state by state, classroom by classroom, live on the Impact page. Over $500,000 in Milestone Giveaways layered on top. One block at a time, one state at a time, until the map fills and America's Homepage is complete. Claim yours.
