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.

It seems to be made by some guys from the Netherlands. This is their website: http://startupmagazine.net/

Yeah, I noticed that after I've decided to use the name. There's also a magazine called "Startups" from Entrepreneur (the magazine that sues entrepreneur http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2578592).

It is actually really hard to find a good (and memorable) magazine name with available domain name. But instead of keep looking for the perfect name, I've decided to stick with this first and focus on producing the magazine.

How are you going to make money from this venture?

By selling the magazine, both digital and print. There won't be subscription yet.

What indication do you have that a paying market exists for such a product?

A. Why does he need any indication. Fail fast, fail cheap. If it doesn't work it is only a loss to those invovled.

B. I would pay. So there.

No indication. Just have the urge to do this.

I would pay for this too. I used to read magazines like Entrepreneur but they're filled with ads and full of fluff info. If it actually contains stories of substance, I'd pay a small subscription every month for it. Go for it!
