About

Maine Startups Insider is a online news startup created by me — Whit Richardson, a journalist who’s covered Maine’s business community for the past decade during stints at the Portland Press Herald, Bangor Daily News and Mainebiz.

I originally created Maine Startups Insider in November 2015 as a weekly newsletter to round up all the startup-related news in Maine. However, not impressed with the coverage of Maine’s startups after I left the Press Herald at the end of 2015, I launched the Maine Startups Insider website as a venue to post original content.

I hope you enjoy the site. If you haven’t already, please subscribe to Maine Startups Insider’s weekly newsletter, which arrives in your inbox every Friday chock full of news and insider-y details about Maine’s startup community.

If you appreciate what I’m trying to do, and have the wherewithal, please consider becoming a sustaining member by supporting me on Patreon.

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to send me an email.
