Prosperity. Happiness Works.

TechCrunch Europe, the European edition of the widely read tech blog, is looking for stories and views from the Irish tech scene.

Editor Mike Butcher last week wrote in a blog post that the blog would like “guest posts for TechCrunch Europe, written by people on the tech scene in Europe”.
Speaking to Prosperity’s Digital Ezine he said “it’s not very dissimilar to a newspaper calling for readers’ letters. But we’re a blog so we ask people to write guest posts.”
However, Butcher commented that he has found the amount of people willing to contribute from Ireland astoundingly low. “I’m generally fairly flabbergasted by it. Every time I go to Dublin … I get my ear talked off and it’s fantastic, there’s so much going on and then I go back to London and … nothing. I don’t hear what’s going on. It seems to be quite an internal conversation a lot of the time in the market there.”
I would love Irish entrepreneurs to ping me with any ideas for guest posts…. You’re native English speakers as much as the Brits so it doesn’t make any sense not to have more contributions and I know the Irish entrepreneurs are fantastic so I’d love more from there.”
People in the technology industry across Europe have been invited to submit pitches for blog posts that are likely to be closer to full-blown articles. So who should get their pen to paper? “We like the people who are CEOs, start-ups, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, maybe occasionally the odd social media expert that actually does know what they’re talking about.” Ideally, guest posters should be from within the tech industry but, says Butcher, occasionally people come from left field “who isn’t necessarily an insider but has an interesting take on stuff.”
