At insideHPC, we’ve experienced a lot of growth in the past year,” said company President Rich Brueckner. “We launched our sister publication, inside-Startups, just two months ago and It quickly became clear to me that we needed to expand our staff to better serve our readers.

Our readers and advertisers can look forward to some really amazing innovation coming from our publications in the coming year.”
