Brown Brothers Media, a digital publishing company based in Singapore, has bought SiliconCanals.com. Silicon Canals is a well-known European media platform that covers technology startups. It was founded by Remco Janssen and run by Proudly Media.
The acquisition was done through a six-figure, asset-only deal. This marks a new beginning for the 11-year-old Dutch media brand, which has grown to become one of Europe’s key sources of news in the startup and innovation world.
Founded in 2014, Silicon Canals has become a trusted source for news and insights about Europe’s tech, venture capital, and startup ecosystem. The acquisition comes at a time of major changes in European tech media, including the shutdown of The Next Web’s editorial team and MeOut Group’s earlier purchase of EU-Startups.
“After more than a decade building Silicon Canals into a trusted platform connecting Europe’s founders, innovators, and investors, it was time to pass the baton to a full-fledged, long-term media house,” said Remco Janssen, founder and CEO of Proudly Media. “Brown Brothers has shown a strong commitment to growing independent tech journalism, and I’m confident they’ll fortify and expand the brand’s reach across Europe.”
Brendan Brown, founder and CEO of Brown Brothers Media, commented: “Silicon Canals has built a powerful brand in the European innovation ecosystem. We plan to invest in expanding its digital footprint, growing its audience, and integrating it with our international portfolio to build the leading global network for startup and scale-up news.”
The transition will be finished by the end of 2025. Under the new management, operations, the brand, and the editorial direction—led by editor-in-chief Rahul Raj—will continue without any disruption.
