TechNews.io’s First Steps Into Enterprise Tech Curation
Since the earliest days of the commercial internet, the world’s biggest news aggregators have consistently overlooked enterprise tech. The $5 trillion enterprise tech industry—the backbone of modern business—dwarfs consumer tech. Yet consumer gadgets and venture-backed trends dominate the “front pages” of mainstream news aggregators.
Take yesterday, for example: in the midst of complex cycles around H1-B visas, NVIDIA’s $150B+ investment in OpenAI, and ransomware attacks disrupting airports, the “Technology” news of the day on the world’s most popular aggregator was new features on Samsung phones, the Play Store, and DJI cameras.
Enterprise tech is vast and complex, with nonstop content across domains like AI, cybersecurity, developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, and semiconductors. But front page algorithms have never taken this domain seriously.
TechNews.io’s First Steps into Curation
We started TechNews.io (originally known as IT Database) more than 15 years ago to solve a basic research problem for PR pros in enterprise tech. At the time, media directories were geared toward spamming reporters, and there was no single searchable index to help PR pros discover them intelligently. We set out to make PR in enterprise tech a smarter place by aggregating trade press, business press, bloggers and to give PR pros a better signal to identify truly relevant writers and interpret the ways they were covering the industry before contacting them.
Today, we’re launching the public beta of our next step: enterprise content curation. Our aggregation now extends to sources like YouTube and newsletters (Substack, Medium, etc.), powered by an enterprise tech taxonomy we built using natural language processing. This taxonomy functions like a knowledge graph, allowing us to surface the most relevant content within complex domains.
Each weekday, our homepage will feature the top five most-read stories across seven categories—AI, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Developer, Chips, Economy & Policy. Each category has dedicated sections that go deeper into curated content from sources like business press, newsletters, YouTube, and funding news. We’ve also expanded search, enabling users to apply advanced operators for precise, topic-driven discovery.
Our Curation Mission and Next Steps
At this early stage, we’re surfacing the stories that resonate most with our readers as the foundation of curation. But traffic alone doesn’t equal quality. That’s why we’re developing a more opinionated approach—one that balances reach with originality, clarity, and authority.
Editors, writers, and podcast hosts tell us they’re frustrated with existing aggregators, which reward clicks and advertising algorithms over meaningful content. We believe enterprise tech deserves better. Our mission is to create a more consistent, fair approach to highlight the best work in AI, cybersecurity, infrastructure, developer tools, and semiconductors—work that educates readers, advances conversations, and reflects the depth of this industry.
Why This Matters for Enterprise Tech Teams
For marketing and comms teams, TechNews.io delivers clarity in a noisy landscape. By curating the most relevant stories and surfacing trusted voices, we help teams:
-Track the themes and conversations shaping their markets.
-Identify and engage the influencers who matter most.
-Gain the context needed to sharpen messaging and time campaigns effectively.
In short, TechNews.io is built to help enterprise tech companies win mindshare and build category leadership on top of real insight—not just headlines.
