BostInno hires tech startups reporter

Dylan Martin, a Maine-based journalist working as the online editor for Mainebiz, has been hired to cover tech startups for BostInno, an online tech news site based in Boston.

He will start in two weeks. BostInno is owned by American City Business Journals. Martin has worked at Mainebiz since April 2014.

Martin previously worked for The Forecaster newspapers, covering local government, schools and culture in midcoast Maine. His work has appeared in the Bangor Daily News, the Sun Journal, The Free Press and Dispatch Magazine.

He loves listening to podcasts, mourning Google Reader, reading and sharing news on Twitter and obsessing over various forms of entertainment, including movies, TV shows, comics and video games.

He is a graduate of the University of Southern Maine.

Whit Richardson of the Portland Press Herald writes, “‘I was a huge consumer of tech news from an early age and became even more interested in the past decade as tech startups began to disrupt traditional industries and change the way we live our lives,’ he said. ‘Boston is a major hub for existing tech companies and startups alike, so I look forward to telling their stories and unearthing new ones.’

“Dylan’s passion for startups and tech meant he often sought out stories from Maine’s innovation community, so his departure will be a loss for those of us who enjoy writing and reading about Maine’s entrepreneurs. But perhaps a silver lining is that he could help expand BostInno’s coverage to encompass more news about Maine startups.”
