The June issue of Philadelphia magazine puts the technology, investment and entrepreneurial communities of Philadelphia on full display.
The Phillymag feature led with an Editor Larry Platt-penned profile on King of Prussia VC military man Mike Burns, of Guggenheim Venture Partners — as of Monday night, the piece didn’t seem to be available online.
The piece was interspersed with pieces on three groups we’ve been so proud of helping bring to the forefront — “the funders, like GoodCompany Ventures and DreamIT Ventures; “the scenesters” like Indy Hall, Philly Startup Leaders, Roz Duffy and others and “the startups” like Azavea and 123LinkIt.
During the past year, we’ve seen a growing number of legacy media stories covering our areas of interest. It’s the collision of a number of factors, not the least of which is the growing awareness around the richness of our communities.
(The edition also included a profile of a more professional segment of the rich DIY movement afoot, though, like the Burns profile, the link doesn’t yet seem to be live.)
We might even humbly suggest Technically Philly’s 16-month existence — with many a story left untold — is further evidence of that.
[Full Disclosure: We write weekly about the technology and innovation communities for the Philly Post daily blog from Phillymag.]

Companies: 123LinkIt / Azavea / GoodCompany Ventures / Indy Hall / Philadelphia Magazine
