VentureBeat announced Tuesday the spinout of GamesBeat as a standalone company, a move that sharpens its focus on the enterprise shift to artificial intelligence, data infrastructure, and intelligent security.
As the gaming industry accelerates, the spinout enables GamesBeat to thrive independently while allowing both brands to scale with greater clarity and purpose. The deal price was undisclosed.
“Today marks a pivotal moment for VentureBeat, positioning the company to help enterprise leaders integrate AI into every workflow,” said Matt Marshall, VentureBeat founder and CEO, in a statement. “This shift enables us to focus on the real tectonic changes occurring in AI, allowing us to create products that offer sharper insights for our readers and deliver unparalleled results for our advertisers. We’re excited for the future and committed to providing value at every turn.”
Marshall launched VentureBeat in 2006. It operates four specialized newsletters focused on AI, data, and security, and hosts more than 20 annual events and summits that convene the most influential minds in enterprise technology.
Dean Takahashi, GamesBeat’s new editorial director, said: “I believe readers of both publications will see the advantages of this specialized approach as the gaming and tech ecosystems continue to grow in complexity and importance. We’re excited for the future of GamesBeat as an independent media entity and for its future growth.”
