Gen Y Startup To Take New Turn

Over the past few months, I have learned a whole lot as I continued building my startup and consulting for a brilliant company already making waves in the real-time tech industry. I have drawn inspiration from several sources and the experience I have gathered from all the startups I have worked with is immense. Last month I received dozens of emails from young Entrepreneurs who have built or in the process of building their own companies asking to get featured on the site but I wasn’t quite sure if I was ready to fully open the doors to accommodate these requests. When I started Generation Y Startup, my idea was to constantly document my experiences as I consulted for several startups and built mine. I have been able to meet a decent number of awesome people via this site and the connections I have made are invaluable! I am truly pleased to been involved in the capacity of Founder of this website- turn- company.

After all the emails and tweets I received last month especially, It got me thinking about how I can use genystartup help new Entrepreneurs and if I wanted to be the “TechCrunch for Gen Y startups” as one of the e-mails I received stated. Early this week I finally decided to go fully into being a news/information source for Gen Y startups rather than the typical documetary-style blog I had been running all along.

The site will now feature a number of breaking stories about startups by Gen-Ys, developing tech news etc… Every now and then I will post a story as I have been doing before but mainly we will have an editor to whom pitches, story ideas and so forth will be directed to. The new changes will be in effect starting from 25th of January, 2010 and so if you have anything to send in to us, we have started accepting stories, tips, news and pitches. Stories that will be featured on here will strictly be by merit and so any story will be reviewed and given an equal shot at making the site. Please direct all stories to entrepreneur@genystartup.com. For any other inquiries and opportunities, send your emails to info@genystartup.com
