Welcome to Rhode Island Inno, a brand new digital media and events company focused on local innovation. We’re part of a network of sites – we’re in Boston, Chicago, D.C, Austin, and the Twin Cities – committed to covering and connecting the people, companies, trends and topics that are impacting your city's tech and startup communities.
We’re here to helping strengthen the Ocean State's ecosystem through authoritative, insightful, original editorial, a fun, weekly newsletter – sign up for The Beat – and social, engaging events and meetups. In every city we’re in, we’re in awe of the founders, entrepreneurs and executives that are driving their local innovation economies forward and pledge to hustle as hard as they do, keeping our communities connected, informed and growing.
Rhode Island Inno will be anchored by Courtney Gabrielson, our lead staff writer; please drop her a note, or two or three or seven, at CGabrielson@AmericanInno.com.
As you’ll see with some of our first couple of posts, we love to tell stories about the people behind the companies, ideas and organizations that are shaping the present and future of the Rhode Island business landscape. On Inno, you’ll also find longer looks into the trends and topics that are impacting and influencing the state's reputation as both an established and emerging tech hub, as well as resource-driven lists - like the Map of Rhode Island Coworking Spaces - multimedia, and much, much more. If it’s local and innovative, it’ll be in Rhode Island Inno.
Finally, in all of our markets, we like to take what we do online and bring it offline as often as we can. It’s the best way to foster community and collision, as well as learn and let loose. It’d be great for you to join us at our kickoff event on September, 6th; more information here.
If you’re reading this post, it means you’re passionate about the Rhode Island ecosystem. So help us get better and better. What do you want to see more of? Less of? If you have a story about local innovation, share it with us.
And, most importantly, SHARE Rhode Island Inno. Pass it along on Twitter and Facebook and tell your friends and colleagues to sign up for The Beat. (It's the best way to stay connected to everything we're doing).
We’re thrilled to be in Rhode Island and can’t wait to get started. Let’s go!
