Xconomy was a media company providing news on business, life sciences, and technology [1] focusing on the regions of Boston, Boulder/ Denver, Detroit, New York City, Raleigh-Durham, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle. [1] The website was launched in June 2007 by founders Robert Buderi and Rebecca Zacks. [2] Xconomy content covered "local personalities, companies, and technological trends to business and technology leaders" with a target audience of "entrepreneurs, business and technology executives and innovators, venture capitalists, angel investors, lawyers, and university researchers and officials." [1] Bill Mitchell of the Poynter Institute described Xconomy in 2010 as reflecting "the insiderish feel of, say, Politico, but with some of the familiarity that you might expect from a small town paper." [3]
Xconomy was founded in 2007 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. [4] The original Xconomy site focused on the city of Boston before opening another outlet in Seattle in 2008 and expanding to other key technology centers of activity afterward. [5] [6]
In 2016, Xconomy was acquired by Informa Connect and moved its headquarters to Boston. [7]
Xconomy had webinar and podcasting services (Xconomy Xpertise) and formed a custom research and publishing arm (Xconomy Insight). [8] Xconomy also provided "underwriting programs, banner ads, display ads, and ad networks". [1]
