ACBJ launches Minne Inno to cover startup news

American City Business Journals launched Minne Inno, a digital publication that will cover the Twin Cities startup ecosystem, on Tuesday.

Dirk DeYoung of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal writes, “That coverage will be led by journalist Maddy Kennedy, an Eden Prairie native who recently covered business for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and the Milwaukee Business Journal. She will work out of the Business Journal’s newsroom, as well as embed herself in the Twin Cities startup community. Kennedy, who reports to Will Flanagan at American Inno, can be reached at Inno (which launched as Streetwise Media, but has rebranded), started in Boston, expanded to Washington, D.C., and then was acquired by ACBJ. Now, Inno is in those two markets, plus Chicago and Austin.

“ACBJ decided to launch Minne Inno in the Twin Cities because of the region’s thriving startup scene and innovation economy.

“Minne Inno will expand on coverage of the tech and startup sector currently done by the Business Journal’s Senior Reporter Katharine Grayson, who has consulted on this project and will continue to do so. But there is simply so much more to cover in this thriving space in the metro area than Grayson can get to, and that’s where Minne Inno comes in.”
