About
“You can’t know how a product will change your life within a week.”
– Josh Teder, Founder of 6 Months Later
Founding and Mission
Founded in 2017
Driven by a passion for videography and a desire to share tech advice, Josh Teder founded the 6 Months Later Reviews YouTube channel in May 2017. Josh saw a gap in the market for in-depth, long-term reviews, and aimed to fill it with clear and informative videos. He later shortened the name to 6 Months Later in 2021, reflecting the channel’s expansion beyond reviews to include comparison and how-to videos.
