The new section will launch Monday and go to our entire circulation of 440,000 readers, as well as being visible to millions of online readers.
Tech startups are invited to nominate themselves for coverage by completing an online application http://www.informationweek.com/form/startupcity.jhtml that calls for basic information about their offerings, founders, and funding.
InformationWeek editors will evaluate the submissions received each week and choose a newbie to write about in the magazine. Startups that complete our online application also will be considered for other types of editorial coverage, including blog postings, news stories, and features.
The ground rules: We're mainly interested in tech startups geared toward business environments, less so in consumer-oriented gadgets and Web sites. They should have a business model, funding, and a year or two of experience, including, preferably, early adopter customers.
So, the gates to InformationWeek's Startup City are officially thrown open. You'll be hearing more about those that come through in the weeks ahead.
