VentureWire

Need to monitor new companies or venture capitalist activity? It's a daunting task—but VentureWire's the newsletter and Web site, both produced by respected technology-tracking firm Technologic Partners, can make the job easier. The site's home page features the opening lines of staff-written articles and top news of private companies—but you have to register to get to the entire story. Additional stories are listed under headings New Money, Bad News, New Products, M&A, New People, and New Directors. The newsletter, mailed daily, includes most of the full-text stories, although longer articles are continued on the Web. The Web page and the HTML version of the newsletter have additional indexing (VC firms, Investors, Geographies) as well as a daily tracking of VC investing. Overall, a strong resource for the price of registration.
