I will give you hipstartup.com if you want a shorter (better?) name.<p>EDIT: LOL, I offer a free domain name and get downvoted :P gotta love HN.<p>EDIT2: Now, to troll, everyone is upvoting me :)
I'd definitely love to see this. But the name might be confusing, as there's already an app called "Startup Magazine" on the iPad app store.<p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/startup-magazine/id438439533?mt=8" rel="nofollow">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/startup-magazine/id438439533?...</a><p>It seems to be made by some guys from the Netherlands. This is their website: <a href="http://startupmagazine.net/" rel="nofollow">http://startupmagazine.net/</a>
I just subscribed and look forward to receiving issues. One challenge you might have is consistently coming up with good stories. Hacker News started out as Startup News but in PG's words (paraphrased) they quickly got bored of just startup stories and sought to broaden it by making it about more than just startups--and renamed it Hacker News. I believe TechCrunch also started out with this mission but after the initial few months kind of lost steam and realized that they got more pageviews by attacking established companies. Arrington has been quoted saying he'd like to someday create a site about just startups. I'm not sure how he will make it successful this time.
One nitpick I have with Hacker Monthly is that I get the digital copy a lot faster than the physical copy. A day or two difference is okay, but I myself reading the digital copy before the physical copy arrives.<p>I don't know how much of this is caused by the just-in-time nature of MagCloud, but it would be ideal if the physical would arrive on the first of the month or if the digital issue could be delayed by a few days.<p>I love getting the physical copy, but the delivery leaves a bit to be desired. I think this aspect is important if you really want to become like a traditional magazine and not just blog articles printed out and bound every 30 (+/- 10) days.
Having a "Why the hell didn't I think of this" moment.<p>Love it; from what I understand it's basically a HN magazine full of start up (success and dismal failure) stories?<p>Can't wait to see it, good luck guys :)<p>Edit:
Just gave you your 100'th upvote, I hope this means I get early access :P
Have I got a story to tell. I'm a founder of a bootstrapped startup in Central Florida, which is by all means on the opposite side of the world when it comes to tech. Got a great product and an excellent team but just struggling to break through. Southeast tech struggles.
Great idea. Some nitpicking: your logo looks extremely reminiscent of the National Geographic logo. You might want to give some though to changing that.
