Mansueto Ventures strikes deal for Australia edition of Inc.

Mansueto Ventures, the parent company of Inc. and Fast Company magazines, has struck a four-year deal with Private Media to publish an Australia edition of Inc.

Mark Di Stefano of Financial Review writes, “For the effort, Private Media has hired Simon Crerar, the former general manager of BuzzFeed Australia and co-founder of grassroots journalism start-up PS Media.

“‘I am enormously excited to join Private Media, to launch Inc. in Australia, and help grow Smart Company at a time when entrepreneurship has never been more central to the Australian economy,’ Mr Crerar said.

“‘At a challenging moment for established SMEs and start-ups, I can’t think of a more important mission than serving the entrepreneurs driving Australia’s real economy.'”
