Promising new startup? Apply for coverage on Mashable

An app called ThreeRing that creates and shares a digital portfolio of students’ work quickly and easily.

A new social networking site called MatchPuppy that matches up New York City dogs with furry companions according to size, age and energy level. 

A website called Parking Panda that allows you to locate and rent parking spaces, and rent out your own stretch of car-friendly turf.

All three promising startups caught the attention of editors at Mashable.com and are featured in the Spark of Genius series. Your company can be, too, if  it meets the following criteria:

  • Must be less than 3 years old.
     
  • Must never have received coverage on Mashable.com before.
     
  • Must have something like an active site or product to showcase to readers.
     
  • Generates less than $1 million in annual revenue.

A story about your company could be a huge publicity coup. That’s because Mashable is the largest independent news source dedicated to covering digital culture, social media and technology. Its 20 million monthly unique visitors and 4 million social media followers have become one of the most engaged online news communities. 

Mashable also syndicates its content to top publications including ABC News, CNN, Metro and Yahoo! News, amplifying its reach to many millions of additional readers each month.

If you want to be featured in the Spark of Genius series, complete the application. If you’re featured in the series, check back here and let us know the results.
