Mansueto Ventures, the parent company of Fast Company and Inc. business magazines, is planning to launch a third business title called Upstart, writes Mediaweek’s Lucia Moses.
Moses noted that the publication will be aimed at entrpeneurs.
Moses wrote, “Publisher of the new title is Adam Platzner, who has held sales positions at music Web site SpiralFrog.com and the defunct Cargo, published by Condé Nast. Heading up the editorial side is Scott Medintz, product development editor, who was formerly a senior editor at Time Inc.’s Money.
“Once scheduled for a May newsstand debut, the title’s launch date is undetermined. Mansueto, which bought Inc. and Fast Company in 2005 from G+J USA, has also been spending money to build up its digital offerings. It announced plans for FastCompany.tv, an online video network, to go live in March. Technology blogger Robert Scoble was named managing director of the site, which will cover technology trends, interviews with executives and product reviews.”
