Since October 2017, we at Cincy Inno have worked to be the ultimate source of local tech and innovation news, profiles, resources and more.
Some numbers for you: In the two years since our inception, we've written nearly 500 stories, sent 200 newsletters and gotten to know a host of innovators, thought leaders and passionate entrepreneurs at our in-market events — and we've loved every minute of it.
And now, we're excited to embark on our next chapter of Cincy Inno, where we streamline our offerings and make ecosytem-focused resources easier to engage with.
In the months ahead, we'll be dividing our editorial content into four main categories: "Profiles," "Guides," "Resources" and "Features." The first section, unsurprisingly, will continue to house the pieces we write on local startups and related entities. "Guides" contains tools to help you better navigate the startup community — insights on coworking spots and accelerators, to name a few. "Resources" will be the place you find our Inno Approved event calendars, monthly funding roundups and informational guest posts. As for "Features," that's where our deeper dives into elements of the Cincinnati tech scene will live; think pieces like our Inno Under 25, 50 on Fire and Makers to Watch.
Next, there's news — something that Cincy is not short on. For stories that we've covered before, check under "News Archive." It's a great place to see some of the biggest deals, moves and other headlines that are important for any student of the ecosystem to know. Moving forward, however, Cincy Inno's coverage of local news will be the central focus of our newsletter, The Beat. We'll switch from our twice-a-week/every week cadence to a twice a month one. That means you'll receive your Beat on the first week of the month and the third week of the month, both on Wednesday afternoons. This move enables us to fill these newsletters with more original editorial than ever before.
What about events? Social? X, Y, Z? Everything else will remain the same, at the same high quality you've come to expect (But, do be on the lookout: We'll be doing two larger events next year, Startups to Watch and an Inno Awards celebration. More to come on those!).
Thank you, Cincy readers, for your continued support and readership. We couldn't do any of this without you, and are so excited for what's ahead. In the meantime: comments, questions, concerns? Drop me (Courtney) a line. I'd love to hear from you.
Also, if you're interested in sponsorship or partnership opportunities with the new Cincy Inno, please email Will Flanagan.
One last thing: If you're enjoying Cincy Inno, don't forget to pass it along to others you'd think would like it, too.
