Article Contribution

The Startup Magazine is a monthly digital publication aimed to motivate, stimulate and cultivate curiosity. We unravel the complexities of the startup ecosystem by supplying practical and thought provoking content. We deliver an engaging reading experience on web, mobile and tablet. Our mission is to not only be a voice for entrepreneurs but to celebrate the entire community. Here are some article contribution considerations.

Desired Article Topics

We embrace highlighting uncommon topics and unusual case studies, and focus on the issues into the future, for example, how can a restaurant strive towards zero waste and zero net energy.

We also would love to hear from Startup Teams from around the world that are solving tough problems in compelling ways. As well as individuals in the startup community who want to share their knowledge and experiences.

Our Founders Series articles are always popular. We publish advice and interview articles which help startups understand they aren’t alone on their journeys. Others have plowed a road for them. And other founders’ experiences can guide them around the potholes.

We are NOT accepting articles on the following topics at this time:

  • Gambling/casino
  • Essay writing
  • Vaping/e-cigarettes
