Xconomy is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based media company providing news on business, life sciences, and technology[1] focusing on the regions of Boston, Boulder/Denver, Detroit, New York City, Raleigh-Durham, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Texas, Wisconsin, and beyond.[1][2] The website was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in June 2007 by Robert Buderi, former Editor-in-Chief of MIT's Technology Review, and co-founded by Rebecca Zacks, the former managing editor of the New England Journal of Medicine's daily e-newsletter Physician’s First Watch.[3][4] Xconomy content covers "local personalities, companies, and technological trends to business and technology leaders" with a target audience of "entrepreneurs, business and technology executives and innovators, venture capitalists, angel investors, lawyers, and university researchers and officials."[1]
History
The original Xconomy site focused on the city of Boston, before opening another outlet in Seattle in 2008 and expanding to other regions afterwards.[5] Since its founding, Xconomy has also entered the field of business-to-business event production.[6]
In April 2016, Bexar County Commissioners in South Texas approved a $5,000 contract to help fund a reporter that explicitly covers technology in the San Antonio market. This annual cost for the program is $150,000 according to the contract.
"Xconomy will hire a dedicated journalist to be located in San Antonio who will write approximately one story per day about San Antonio's technology and life sciences clusters and will publish close to 250 original articles per year."
Services
Xconomy also provides "underwriting programs, banner ads, display ads, and ad networks."[1]
