The most basic of answers: Axios (stylized as AXIOS) is an American news and information website founded in 2016 by Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei, Politico's former Chief White House correspondent Mike Allen, and former Politico Chief Revenue Officer Roy Schwartz.
So, it has the founding of very well known people who have been on top of lots of things, lots of connections, and a reputation worth paying attention to.
