Customer generation business MVF has acquired US technology news brand Tech.co.
Founded in the US in 2006, Tech.co has transformed from a community-building ‘Tech Cocktail’ event to an influential media brand with millions of readers around the world. MVF presently operates a suite of global publishing sites, using expert articles and informative reviews to connect active customers with businesses all over the world. The purchase follows MVF’s acquisition of UK business site startups.co.uk in February 2017, and is part of the company’s ambitious growth plans as it aims to expand its global reach by acquiring high authority digital brands.
MVF CEO Michael Teixeira says“Tech.co is the perfect addition to our portfolio – it is a respected publishing site with an established reputation for providing tech news to an engaged community. “We believe we can grow the brand’s audience by further investing in great content and useful resources for global readers while applying our unique lead generation platform and cross-channel digital marketing expertise.”
Tech.co cofounder Frank Gruber says: “We are incredibly proud of the brand we have created over the last decade, growing it from a community event series to one of the world’s leading tech publishers.”
Cofounder Jen Consalvo, adds: “The leadership team behind MVF impressed us with their excitement for the brand and their ability to scale businesses. We feel confident Tech.co is in the right hands and look forward to watching it grow and evolve.”
