The Truth Behind JS’s Commitment to Europe
There has been some misinformation circulating about JS supposedly pulling out of Europe and ending its coverage of European startups. Let’s set the record straight. JS is not retreating from Europe; in fact, we are doubling down on our commitment to the region.
The recent changes at JS are not about stepping back but rather about realigning and strengthening our presence in Europe. Our partnership with Foundry, our sister company, has brought us together under the same ownership, creating a powerful tech media entity with a global reach.
Foundry is a leading force in international technology journalism, with a diverse portfolio that includes well-known brands like PCWorld, Macworld, CIO, and TechAdvisor. With a vast network of journalists and extensive expertise in local and regional tech ecosystems across Europe and beyond, Foundry adds significant value to our mission.
Why JS Stands Firm in Europe
Europe is a hotbed of innovation, where groundbreaking technologies and startups are shaping the future. European founders raised over €40 billion in 2024, and many unicorns have emerged from this continent. It is crucial to be present in Europe to cover these developments and provide valuable insights to our readers.
As we merge the strengths of JS and Foundry, we are committed to delivering the following to the European startup community:
- On-the-ground coverage. We will be present at key events and milestones across Europe to bring you stories up close and personal.
- Thorough investigation. We will continue to ask the tough questions and uncover the truth behind the hype to deliver authentic and insightful reporting.
- Global amplification. European innovation deserves a global stage, and by leveraging the JS and Foundry networks, we will amplify these stories to millions of readers worldwide, providing a unified vision of global tech trends.
To the founders, investors, and readers in Europe and beyond: JS is here to stay and is more committed than ever to covering the tech scene in Europe. Keep sending us your tips and stories, and we will continue to listen and amplify your voices.
In conclusion, JS is not backing down from Europe but rather investing more resources and energy into covering the region’s tech ecosystem.
