We’re still pretty new to the Bay Area, having turned on our San Francisco site just eight weeks ago Monday, on June 14. Our web stats tell us that quite a few of the people who visit every day are arriving at the site for the first time. So as a quick introduction, I thought I’d point you to a few local stories that illustrate Xconomy’s unique approach to innovation news—i.e., in-depth coverage of the entrepreneurs, inventors, and investors exploring the newest markets for innovation in life sciences, infotech, and clean energy.
You can always check out our recent favorites in the “San Francisco Editors’ Picks” box on the front page of Xconomy San Francisco. And by the way, I hope you’ll join me and my colleague Luke Timmerman this Friday, August 13, for an open house at Xconomy’s San Francisco office (699 Mississippi Street, Suite 206, in the Dogpatch/Potrero Hill neighborhood, 5:00-9:00 p.m.). We’d love to tell you more about our mission, and hear about what you’re doing.
