Artificial Intelligence and Transparency - Nanalyze

For most of the articles we write, we don't consult with the companies beforehand. This helps keep things objective and saves us a great deal of time not having to do the whole "back and forth" thing with some public relations firm that's getting paid good money while we do free work for them. Speaking directly to founders is almost always illuminating, but anything else usually just results in a mouthful of platitudes from company management that we're supposed to parrot to the masses and then say something cheerful at the end like "company X has a bright future ahead of it!" To endure that sort of pain, we usually ask that firms pitch us a few bucks to help feed our team of starving MBAs. Most of the time we will email startups we write about after the article goes out, and they're almost always grateful for the exposure.
