One of the co-founders of CoFounder here.

It seems a little weird that just about a year ago, I thought that going back to print is crazy and yet here we are. Exciting.

Happy to answer any questions about CoFounder, ArcticStartup, media in general (I am also involved in #EUTechWriters), etc.

Have you come across Sekret Firmy, the Russian startup magazine? I found it surprisingly good: http://www.kommersant.ru/sf/

Does anyone know of any other good region specific startup magazines that are in print?

There is the tech magazine in Germany for example: http://t3n.de/

There is also Tech City News in London.

Nice to see you trying print media.

I saw the announcement on Arctic Startup website, is the new magazine connected to it or is it completely independent?

I'm wondering if the money from magazine can fund Arctic Startup, which was almost shut down few years ago.

My first thought was "Print? How quaint." but it's a lot better for archival purposes and consumers expect online articles for free, but print is not perceived as worthless to the same degree.

My first thought when Tarmo came up to us too. But after a while, I realized many things which are very neat about print.

Just the freedom of not caring about traffic for example. That means that traffic does not affect your content at all. No click-bait stories, no content that tries to force users to go somewhere. Just pure journalism.

I've read a bit form the first issue during Slush '14, very good quality, both writing and production.

Quality comes in all shapes and forms. Print is redefining itself through startup ecosystem. Super cool!

It's been a while already since I bought a copy of Wired..
