Business Insider is a website and blog that provides news, analysis, and commentary about business and technology. The site was started in 2007 by Jesse Draper and Neil Patel, and is headquartered in New York City.
Business Insider has been compared to other online news sources, such as Forbes and The Wall Street Journal, but it has also been criticized for its lack of original reporting. In 2014, the site was sold to Verizon Communications for an undisclosed amount.
The site has been described as a “a mix of Forbes, The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg Businessweek.” It covers a wide range of topics related to business and technology, including news about startups, CEOs, startups, venture capitalists, investment banks, Silicon Valley companies, digital media companies and advertising agencies.
The site has also been praised for its well-researched and detailed coverage of technology topics. Critics have said that the site does not produce enough original reporting.
