We Are Looking For A Software Writer To Join Our Team
ArcticStartup is continually growing and want to offer more to our readers. Päivi is doing great job covering the clean tech sector, but we feel that there are still a lot of startups that deserve to get coverage.
That in mind we want to open applications for a full position for a writer who know the software industry's ins and outs. The emphasis is on business-to-business software (B2B), since historically that is the biggest exit market in the region and there is currently happening a lot in the space.
Naturally this means that you understand the technology and have an interest in the field. Ideally you would be interested in covering the larger Scandinavian and Baltic scene, but by no means is that a requisite. So if you swim deep in your home country's software startup scene, that's enough. If we find people in different countries interested in covering their own market, we might take on board more than one writer. We also see it as a big plus is you're willing to do a video interviews here and there. Again, you don't have to be a professional blogger or writer by any means: passion and industry knowledge is all it takes.
We can not pay you money at the moment, but as any startups we can offer you other perks along side with the high visibility you would naturally get as a profilic writer and a solid member of our editorial team. If you're still reading, are interested to become an integral part of ArcticStartup team and think you'd fit the bill, write to us at info[at]arcticstartup.com. We know there's a lot of talent in our readership and we'd love to hear from all of you!
Continuous Improvement And Growth
Every company needs to grow and evolve or die, and so do we. Similarly no matter how many readers one has, she should always aim to improve the publication. And since we are writing this for you guys we would like to know what you'd like to read on ArcticStartup in the future, what you'd like to see more of and what less of. To walk to talk, we follow Neil Patel's advice on TechCrunch and ask you directly:
- On a scale of 1-10 (where 10 is most likely), how likely is it that you would recommend this blog to a friend or colleague?
- How did you hear about it?
- What led you to become a subscriber, versus just reading an article and leaving like everybody else? (Or, if you’re not a subscriber, what would it take to convince you?)
- What do you hope to see here in the future?
Do let us know what you think in the comments or email us at info [at] arcticstartup.com. Even though we do have our own vision on where to take the blog, every opinion counts and we value your feedback tremendeusly. Along with all the startups out there, you're the reason why we write this blog so please let us know where you'd like to see it evolve. Be vocal and lound. Now's the change to influence what your getting in the future. Thank you! ...and yes, we do love our job :)

ArcticStartup Is Looking For A Cleantech Writer
ArcticStartup is evolving as any healthy venture needs to. After talking to a lot of our readers we are ready to expand our editorial scope towards covering more of what all of us here are so passionate about, not just one industry but startups in general.
We chose the direction that we're most excited about apart from the area that we already cover. We're going for cleantech (or greentech depending on what you want to call it)! Irrispective of what you call it, we are now looking for a writer to join our ranks here at ArcticStartup and be a full fledged member of our editorial team.
Not just any blogger though. We are looking for the same passion that drive us each and every day. Naturally, we expect you to know the area of expertise and have something to show for it, be it a job, a resume, magazine articles, a blog, an event you organized, you name it. We are not particularly interested what you've done or what you do, as long as you're passionate about cleantech and everything around it, and want to share what's happening in the cleantech startup industry in the Northern Europe with our readers.
Some of you might have justified fear what happens to the current editorial that revolves around internet, mobile software startups and growth entrepreneurship. It gets stronger, that's what! Each week we get a deeper and better view into the Northern European internet and mobile startup industry and each day we are more excited about it. We keep blogging and pushing the scene stronger than ever, now we just have the Northern Europen cleantech startup industry growing with us.
Long story short, If you understand cleantech, are passionate about cleantech startups and would like to share your insight with the world, write to us at info[at]arcticstartup.com. There's 30 000+ page views a month and 130+ countries following after all, so you're set for a wide readership. If you're not sure whether you qualify, write to us anyway. If in doubt whether you know enough about the startup industry in cleantech, write to us anyway. Only thing we absolutely require is passion.
