On May 12-13, we will be hosting our annual EU-Startups Summit in beautiful Barcelona – gathering around 1,600 founders, investors, and startup enthusiasts for two days of networking, inspiration and learning.
For early-stage startups, getting noticed and getting media attention can be a crucial part to getting off the ground. Media coverage can help startups to get on the radar of early-adopters, future team members and investors alike. Across Europe, startup ecosystems are thriving and we have a healthy number of media publications keeping us up-to-date on all the latest startup news.
Given the EU-Startups Summit is Europe’s meeting point for startups, investors, and the startup community as a whole, we wanted to draw some attention to Europe’s startup publications – sharing who are the key players in this sector and how to get featured.
This year, we’ll be hosting a Startup Media panel discussion on the main stage, featuring some of Europe’s leading publications and startup media representatives. This panel will feature Mike Butcher, the Editor-at-Large of TechCrunch, Remco Janssen, the founder and publisher of Silicon Canals, Cathy White, the founder and director of CEW Communications, and Thomas Ohr, the founder and CEO of EU-Startups.
These four media representatives will surely be able to share some incredibly valuable insights for any startup or entrepreneur looking to get noticed by the media, and it is going to be a panel you don’t want to miss!
