Apart from the new targets, there’s much to grasp about Protocol’s new investments in enterprise tech edit. In the biggest picture, Protocol owner Axel Springer is investing in Protocol across the board.
As TechCrunch is to funding news and hot startups, Protocol is to enterprise computing. Last year you couldn’t say that, especially after go-to reporter Joe Williams departed for Bloomberg. This year you totally can. Protocol recently hired three enterprise reporters and seeks two more.
Chances of pitch success are low these days if you’ve got an enterprise tech story for Bloomberg or the Wall Street Journal.
We took a quick look this week at overall trends in enterprise tech edit. Pitch opportunity still exists, but the obsession with the industry leaders is almost shameful. We analyze the work of five Tier 1 enterprise tech reporters and check in on what’s moving the meter at the IDG “usual-suspect” pubs.
