Austin Inno launches to cover innovation

An American City Business Journals division rolled out its fourth website covering innovation on Wednesday.

Austin Inno follows BostInno, DC Inno and Chicago Inno.

National editor Galen Moore is overseeing editorial operations, and Brent Wistrom, a former Wichita Eagle reporter, is on the editorial team in Austin.

“We’re excited to bring a new dimension and dialog to Austin’s business ecosystem,” said Reid Snyder, Streetwise Media’s national publisher, in a statement. “We strive to not only positively impact the innovation community, but to make tech coverage engaging and accessible to the Austin community at large.”

ACBJ also owns and operates the Austin Business Journal. The Chicago site launched in 2014, while DC Inno launched in 2012.
