Editorial strands
The slots that run every issue
A magazine becomes recognisable when readers know what they are going to find. These are the franchises — named, recurring, and the reason a reader turns to page forty before page four.
The Big Interview
Every issue
One major business personality, at length
The cover conversation. One figure per issue, interviewed properly rather than emailed a list of questions.
About this strandThe BUZZ 100
Annual
A hundred ambitious entrepreneurs shaping business
The list. A hundred founders and leaders whose work is changing something, published once a year and argued about for the rest of it.
About this strand30 Under 30
Annual
Emerging entrepreneurial talent
Thirty people under thirty who have already built something worth paying attention to.
About this strandThe Founders
Every issue
Long-form founder stories
How a business actually got built, told at the length the story needs rather than the length a page allows.
About this strandThe Deal
Every issue
Acquisitions, investments and partnerships
What changed hands, what it was worth, and what it means for everybody else in the sector.
About this strandThe Scale-Up
Every issue
Businesses breaking through the next threshold
The awkward growth stages — first hires, first premises, first time the founder is not in every decision.
About this strandThe Next
Every issue
Companies and entrepreneurs to watch
Early enough that you have probably not heard of them, and far enough along that you will.
About this strandThe Boardroom
Every issue
Leadership insight from the people doing it
Chief executives and senior leaders on the decisions that do not have obvious answers.
Read the pieceThe Numbers
Every issue
Revenue, growth, investment and business economics
The unglamorous arithmetic — margin, pricing, cash and what growth actually costs to buy.
Read the pieceThe Failure
Every issue
A founder explains what went wrong
Our most-read slot, for the reason you would expect: it is the only place anybody tells you what it cost.
About this strandLegacy
Every issue
Entrepreneurs building something beyond themselves
Businesses designed to outlast the person who started them, and the people deliberately building that way.
