Deadline: 9:00 PM EST - 8 October
Query:
We're currently working on a piece regarding the DeFi Index
Crash we are witnessing, Binance Futures DeFi Composite Index
(DCI) is down 50% while TokenSet's DeFi Pulse Index (DPI) is
down 30%. We're looking to get insights on the following
subjects:
1. While the Total value locked (TVL) in DeFi has jumped 40% in
the past 30 days, why are we seeing the DeFi indexes crash
suddenly?
2. Uniswap generated more than $15 billion in volume last month,
even more than CoinBase. Shouldn't this act as a catalyst for
investors to further invest in DeFi indices as well?
3. Did the increase of the Ethereum transactions fees act as a
deterrent for traders? (Fees has now dropped 85%, but still
these indices continue to remain down)
4. ETH hash rate recently hit it's all time high, will this
encourage more investors into DeFi and as a by product cause the
indices to rally? 5. How will this impact the miners now that
ETH is 3x more profitable to mine than Bitcoin?
6. Please feel free to add any additional details that you feel
I might have failed to consider in relation to this subject.
For your time, we will be more than happy to add your/company
name, company/profile details in the article. However, we do not
link Twitter, LinkedIn, biz websites since we are an independent
publishing house.
Looking forward to your responses.
Requirements:

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 9 October
Query:
I'm a journalist at TechTarget's SearchSecurity.com, working on
a feature story about how zero-trust products and services
function in real-world network implementations.
My editor wants me to lay out exactly how a variety of
zero-trust products/services/tools function in real-world
networks. We're looking for dry, just-the-facts, technical
specifics about how these individual technologies work, free of
"marketing speak" or any vague, high-level terminology. Our
audience includes a large number of enterprise IT engineers, so
we are aiming to write a practical article that will help them
sort through the zero-trust products on the market today. They
want to know exactly which tools do what, how they work, where
they sit in the network, etc.
Here are my questions:
* How does your product/service/tool help continuously assess
explicit risk/trust levels in a network?
* From an in-the-trenches IT engineer's perspective, how does
your product/service/tool work? We're looking for nitty-gritty,
technical specifics here - the more detail, the better.
* Where would an enterprise IT team put your product or
service within their network? Where does it sit and what does it
connect to? In other words, how and where does your zero-trust
tool fit within the context of a real-world environment?
* What other parts/components/technologies (yours or others')
complement or support your product or service, within a broader
zero-trust ecosystem?
Requirements:
Vendor representatives with technical engineering expertise who
can explain zero trust technologies

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 9 October
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.
