VentureBeat is a mainstream professional & financial and technology & telecoms blog that targets the most influential leaders of Silicon Valley and other dynamic business cities in the world. Readers include entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and other professionals. VentureBeat was launched in 2006 and founded by Matt Marshall, who also served as Editor-in-Chief. He started the site with the belief "that no one else was covering the entrepreneurial and tech innovation scene with the velocity or depth that he was". He holds a PhD in Government and an MA in German and European Studies from Georgetown University. VentureBeat strives to "introduce readers to the most dynamic private companies out there, regardless of sector". Subject areas include information technology and clean technology. It also profiles venture capital firms, and the people that lead them. VentureBeat generates more than 11 million page views per month from more than 7.5 million unique visitors per month. Pitching Notes: The editorial team looks for investors, principles, founders, executives as sources. Secret sources are OK. VentureBeat looks for stories about companies they've covered in the past. They are especially interested in stories about interesting or unique investors, or something that has a breaking news component. To VentureBeat, the best pitches are those that are unique, have an exclusive, are easy to pass on to a certain beat writer, and funny. Always CC tips@venturebeat.com or gamebeat@tips.com to make sure your story gets read. Also keep the time you send a release in mind. Late in the evening (11 pm) is not best. They are always looking for information about the digitization of health records, big data, and new technology that changes people's lives. VentureBeat wants to spread geographically, add more video components, expand beat areas and are continually looking for more exclusives/scoops. VentureBeat DOES accept bylined articles and submissions. The team like to publish guest posts from experts who can provide unique and useful perspectives. They say: "We get a lot of submissions. We'll try to respond as quickly as we can to each one, but due to time constraints, we aren't always able to provide feedback on rejected stories." Guest columns usually run about 500 to 600 words. The more concise they are the better. They prefer the use of bullets or subheads to break up text. They also advise, if possible, to use the column to make a strong argument. "Come down on one side of an issue, or advance a theory, " they suggest, "We want to stir discussion. Provide specific examples of companies and true anecdotes to illustrate the points you're making - the more the better. Steer clear of making this a promotional piece for one company. Don't worry, you'll get a lot of positive exposure even if you don't directly discuss your own company. Disclose conflicts of interest, such as partnerships with, or investments in, any companies/technolog
