Top 10 Technology and Startup News Resources
As a startup, you’ll need to stayed informed of and be engaged in what’s going on in the world around you. (I’d suggest that being informed is something every human should work toward!)
Paying attention to what other people are building, consumer and business behaviors, and emerging technology trends will give you a leg up on the competition, who many times is too busy facing inward to appreciate what’s happening in the broader community. So here are a number of resources designed to help you stay up to speed:
- Techmeme – By presenting a summary of the day's essential reports and analysis on a single page, Techmeme has become the technology news site of record for people both within and beyond the industry.
- Startups on alltop.com – Collecting the headlines of the latest stories from the best sites and blogs that cover startups.
- Recode – The latest independent tech news, reviews, and analysis.
- TechCrunch – Leading technology media property, dedicated to obsessively profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news.
- Hacker News – Operated by Y Combinator, this platform allows users to submit news, interesting links, and hacks.
- Venture Beat – Leading source for news, events, groundbreaking research, and perspective on technology innovation; content and events provide deep context to help executives, entrepreneurs, and tech enthusiasts make smart decisions; aims to inform, connect and inspire.
- Pando – Covering tech startup news.

- Tech.co – Tech.Co (formerly Tech Cocktail) is a vibrant media, community, and events organization for creatives, entrepreneurs, and technology enthusiasts. Since 2006, its goal has been to amplify tech communities providing a place to get informed, connected, and inspired.
- LinkedIn – I love reading the job descriptions of available roles and reading the profiles of people who are at companies I'm interested in. I find more detailed information on LinkedIn that I do in the news :)
