TechCrunch for Boston tech news

Dylan Martin

Ed Harrison of InkHouse spoke with BostInno reporter Dylan Martin about the tech news site.

Here is an excerpt:

EH: So let’s talk a little bit more about Boston specifically and BostInno. Give me the elevator pitch.

DM: We’re basically a TechCrunch for Boston tech news. I think our writing styles are pretty similar — very conversational, a little opinionated sometimes. We are covering the tech and venture capital ecosystem — everything from early-stage startups to public companies-

EH: How many stories are you writing each week?

DM: This week I have written 10 stories so far. Three on Monday, two on Tuesday, three on Wednesday, two on Thursday, and then probably two today … I think the majority of the pieces we do are maybe 600 to 800 words at the most. Because we’re doing a lot of stories, we definitely have to write fast.
