Much like Vanilla Ice, start-ups exist because someone (or someones<\/em>!) saw a problem and decided to solve it. They\u2019re tenacious disrupters, seeing solutions to challenges or ways to fill a critical gap.<\/p>\n

\"\" — Pre-Internet-Boom Start-Up?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
ONA created the Start-Up Alley as part of our Midway exhibit and networking space, to connect companies founded in the past two years to the larger digital news space. After a competitive application process, eight new companies will be featured as part of the ONA21 Start-Up Alley \u2014 and we think they have the potential to last much longer than a 1990 one-hit wonder! The tools and products offered by these groups are designed to help journalists and newsrooms do more with less, are focused on increasing credibility and developing new opportunities for monetization and efficiency.<\/p>\n\t\n\t\t\t
