About alarm:clock & alarm:clock euro

alarm:clock and our sister site alarm:clock euro cover the business of technology startups. Each weekday, we profile privately-held technology ventures. We analyze the business models and tell you how these companies fit in to the technology landscape. You’ll also find ongoing news and updates about the companies we cover – and about the technology industry at large.

Our editors are old hacks who worked at Red Herring and The Industry Standard back when client/server software and virtual reality were all the rage. We covered the bubble and then belched it out. We’ve even started our own companies in the past, we’ve raised money, we’ve seen the madness.

With offices in Zürich, New York and San Francisco, alarm:clock covers: Internet, wireless, hardware, and software companies. We get dirt from our moles on the pitch at the Grasshopper-Club Zürich, at parties off Wall Street and biking past the office parks along Highway 101, but we welcome new moles - so write us at comments [at] thealarmclock [dot] com
