FAQ

Do I need to be based in Boston for BostInno coverage? A strong Boston or New England angle helps — local HQ, funding, hires, or events. Purely remote national pitches rarely fit.

Is BostInno a free startup directory? No — BostInno is regional startup journalism on bizjournals.com. Coverage is editorial, with Freemium earned paths for qualifying local news.

How is BostInno different from TechCrunch? BostInno covers the Boston startup ecosystem locally. TechCrunch is national tech media — complementary, not interchangeable.

Does BostInno coverage help SEO? Articles link to your site, but we rate backlink quality Weak. Value is local brand visibility and regional press credibility.
