StartUp Beat profiles the world’s most innovative early-stage technology startups through featured company pitches, interviews and guest columns by industry experts. We don’t care so much about the Googles and Facebooks of the world—other news and information sites have them covered. We’re into telling the stories of the new guys—the upstarts: their innovative new ideas and their stories. Follow StartUp Beat on Twitter: @startupbeat1 StartUp Beat was founded by Brian Kovalesky, who also edits and publishes the site. Brian is a graduate student and tech enthusiast, and started StartUp Beat in 2007 as a way to keep up on the latest in technology startups and innovation. Since then the site has steadily established itself as the place to go to discover the next wave of technology leaders and visionaries.
