Contributing to Venture Hype

Venture Hype’s primary audience is angel investors. If you’re an investor, analyst, researcher, industry expert, investment network, or professional service provider, we’d like to hear from you.

Submit your article to venturehype [at] gmail [dot] com. To be featured, your article must offer tips, insights, or takeaways for investors, not entrepreneurs. If you’re unsure whether your topic would be a good fit, feel free to send us an email and tell us what you want to write. We’ll reply within 3 business days. If there’s a good fit, you’re more than welcome to chime in — just once or lots and lots.

Once your article is published, we’ll distribute it on Twitter, Facebook, and FriendFeed to make sure your contribution is seen.

What You Need to Know

• You get to promote yourself and/or your firm. Simply include your byline (that’s your name) and some quick and fascinating notes and links about you and/or your company at the end of the article.

Copyrights and Disclosure

• You grant us exclusive copyright and we get to reprint your fab article with your name in any Venture Hype materials.
• Don’t copy stuff or reprint articles from elsewhere. It’s naughty and you can get into lots of trouble.
• Disclose straight away if you’re a stakeholder of the companies you mentioned in your article.
  

Writing Guidelines

• Your article should be around 500 words or more. It must be original and shouldn’t have been previously published.
• Spice up your piece by including links, images, audios, and/or videos.
• Make your writing style easy to understand. Use active tone and avoid nasty jargon.
• Your credibility increases when you’re genuinely being helpful rather than writing an advertorial about something of your own.
• Offer clear advice or takeaway’s about a specific issue that may impact angel investors or help them understand something better. Stories, how-to’s, case studies, lessons learned, and step-by-step instructions work wonders.

BTW, if you know someone who’d make a great contributor, send them our way!

Pitches

If you’re a service provider whose target clientele is our fab angels, you’re welcome to pitch:

• Please keep it short and to the point.
• No press releases, please. But feel free to send over unpublished stories and featured articles.
• No press kits in the post, please. We try to be a bit green.
• Don’t call to follow up. We’ll call you if we need more info.
