Ask HN: magazines for new Internet entrepreneurs and startups?
I currently subscribe to Entrepreneur. It's decent and very inexpensive but doesn't always fit my desire to find information about scrappy internet bootstrapped companies. What it does have, however, is a writing staff of people that I've read blog posts from and information about before even subscribing. Thus, the articles all seem to be credible and accurate even if they don't apply much to my current situation.
Any recommendations for other print publications (doesn't have to be reputable name on glossy paper)?
- grinich 17y agoWhy print?
- scootklein 17y agopurely preference, allows me to get away from the keyboard and mouse at a coffee shop or bus stop
- kapauldo 17y agoprint is fantastically underrated. i LOVE my inc mag in print. it allows physical comfort while reading.
- uptown 17y agoI like Inc., Entrepreneur, Fast Company and Wired. I get a good selection of information from them when I'm looking to read something that's not on a screen. They all have online versions of their content, so you could check them out to see if you like them.
- tim_church 17y agoI second Inc. They have some good articles and much of the content is relevant to internet startups
- mattcrest 17y agoI'll second Inc. and Fast Company. Both have great content. For an outside the tech mag, I'm a huge fan of GOOD (http://good.is http://good.is). Lots of smart thinking and and in-depth explorations of the theme for each issue.
- replicatorblog 17y agoFast Company is great because they usually profile 5 folks per issue around some theme. Mostly senior manager to director level folks so you get a better insight into the working of companies. Also a really nicely designed mag. The Inc. 500 is useful in that they publish revenue numbers of companies in a wide variety of industries. I've found it very useful when assembling presentations of comps. Also, you can get subscriptions to both magazines for free ($5 max) with various offers online.
- kapauldo 17y agoInc. is great, inspiring and tons of useful stuff. Fast Company is good, too full of cultural and art stuff, very similar to Wired. Entrepreneur is for fast food franchisees and ebay businesses, really not much for tech startups.
- hop 17y agoThe Economist. Concise writing style, minimal ads, and its not just about economics as one would suspect - covers the world, tech, business. Nothing comes close, expensive though.
- azsromej 17y agoInc. is indeed great. In fact, my karma would be about 1,000 points higher if I'd simply remember to submit the online versions of some of the articles. They're typically highly regarded on hn.
- blender 17y ago+1 Fast Company I also like Technology Review Cheers
- uptown 17y agoMIT Technology Review is great ... though it got a little expensive for my taste at only 6 issues for $25. I consume that one online now.
- MHofman12 17y agoThanks for the Inc. love, guys. Is there anything you'd like to see us do more of? --Mike Hofman, Inc.com
- therealbob 17y agoYes. Enough with all the "young entrepreneurs"-slanted articles. People of all ages can and do start their own businesses.
