High Tech

1) Summary: A CEO Story: What is the business value of investing in a cybersecurity program?

Name: Sean Martin ITSPmagazine

Category: High Tech

Email: query-awm1@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: ITSPmagazine

Deadline: 8:00 PM EST - 19 June

Query:

We are putting together a podcast to discuss how cybersecurity
helps the business be a better business. This episode will be
presented from the CEO and line of business owner perspective,
giving the guest we select from this query a chance to tell
their story on the podcast. The story should demonstrate how
they made or saved time, money, resources, customers, employees,
products (or ??) by implementing a cybersecurity program. Your
response to this query must be from the CEO of the company or
from a LOB owner within the company. The response must describe
the "cybersecurity has a business value" story in 2-3 succinct,
yet meaningful, paragraphs. The CEO/LOB owner must also be able
and available to expand on the story as a guest on the podcast
(we will coordinate timing after we select the best response).

Requirements:

This specific request is limited to CEOs and line of business
owners that have a success story to share AND that are able and
available to join us for a podcast to share their story. If the
CEO/LoB owner is not able to speak, please don't respond to this
query. This specific request excludes submissions from
technology companies and cybersecurity companies (sorry, we're
not looking for stories there at the moment); all other
industries and company types are welcome. This is NOT a request
for product/service pitches - they will be immediately
discarded. This is NOT a request for how technology "saved the
day" if the only thing that is presented in the response is the
technology that was used and is missing how it tangibly impacted
the business in a positive manner. This is NOT a request to
sling cybersecurity jargon as a story (such as "reduced risk" or
"blocked attacks") --- other publications can tell that story.
We want the real business value. Responses filled with cyber
jargon will not make the cut. Just sayin'. While all of these
requirements may seem daunting, please recognize that it means
we want to capture the best story - that's our mission here and
is our only goal in setting the requirements as we've done.
Thanks for your understanding!

2) Summary: Seeking Entrepreneur Journeys

Name: Sheldon Chi One Million by One Million

Category: High Tech

Email: query-awxo@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: One Million by One Million

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 19 June

Query:

Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting companies with at least $5 million in annual
revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are interested
in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is willing to
discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and process of
company building, spanning topics such as bootstrapping,
financing, positioning, customer acquisition, channels, team
building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue level, industry
(Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile,
Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming,
Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the story
angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.

Requirements:

When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.
