Greg Wilpert founded the website in 2003 with Martin Sanchez, one of the founders of Aporrea.org (es), a pro-Chavez website, who set up the 'technical side' of the site.[9][10] Up to February 2014, Venezuelanalysis.com's 'about' page stated that its "Web server services and bandwidth is donated by Aporrea.org, a larger site maintained by grassroots groups in Venezuela."[11] In 2007, Wilpert stated the site had received "some funding" from the Venezuelan government's Ministry of Culture, in addition to accepting "grassroots donations."[7] He also indicated that Venezuelanalysis.com had "mutual support agreements" with the groups Green Left Weekly, Alia2, and "briefly" with Telesur, along with other organizations.[7] [12] As of April 2014, the site's 'about page' states that "we depend 100% on reader donations and receive no funding from any governments."[1]
