Our take
Sifted is a media platform reporting on the world of technology and startups in Europe, backed by the Financial Times. It's known for its high-quality commentary and fresh viewpoints and is targeted at founders, investors and people working in startups across Europe. It reports on stories of big startup trends, compelling company profiles, and the everyday lessons that come from growing a business; covering early-stage businesses in tech centres like London, Paris and Berlin but also smaller hubs like Minsk, Talin and Zurich.
Sifted’s team of reporters are based across Europe, and the website has hundreds of thousands of monthly unique visitors. FT's stake in the company comes alongside a licensing agreement which ensures Sifted meets the standard of FT calibre news and analysis. The company is also backed by several British, French, German, Greek and Swedish angel investors with interests in the growing European technology sector.
