History[edit | edit source]

EDventure Holdings, Inc was established by Esther Dyson in 1978. The company functioned as an independent entity; known for its annual technology conference for IT executives, investors and entrepreneurs, PC Forum, and its monthly technology report, Release 1.0.

The acquisition resulted in the further growth of CNET Networks, which benefitted from the analytical and thought leadership of Esther Dyson as well as the award-winning editorial team of the company. This helped in the growth of the various business technology brands of CNET Networks, such as TechRepublic, ZDNet and CNET.com.[3]

Present[edit | edit source]

Currently, the brands TechRepublic, ZDNet and CNET News.com reach out to approximately six million readers every month in the U.S; adding EDventure's journalism team adds strategic clout. The long established and well-maintained global network of EDventure with Wall Street and Washington, D.C. leaders, has helped CNET Networks in deepening ties to IT executive and C Level audiences to do further development with technology start-ups.[4]
