I’m looking for a hungry reporter to cover the business of venture capital and startups, and capture the Silicon Valley zeitgeist.
You’ll be the first editorial hire and the third person on our team, alongside me—Eric Newcomer—and our chief of staff.
You’ll work as a beat reporter, writing about what’s happening at top venture capital firms such as Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz and Y Combinator, and at top startups such as OpenAI, Stripe and Instacart. We’re looking for stories about the money that makes Silicon Valley turn, and about the power players behind it all. Scoops are important, as is sharp analysis and an eye for the story behind the story. We bring an air of contrarian optimism to our work.
You should apply if you want to get your writing and reporting in front of 70,000+ Silicon Valley insiders and be in on the ground floor of a growing and self-sustaining media business.
Great financial reporting and high-impact feature stories are good business for Newcomer. We’re not chasing clicks; our subscribers value the unique information and insight we can bring, and thus top-flight journalism translates directly into revenue, as well as year-end bonuses.
Newcomer is profitable by every metric and revenue is on track to more than double this year. We’re building a conference series, a YouTube channel, a podcast, and, of course, a newsletter.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants to grow and explore – both in their writing and reporting, and in learning about media and startups from the inside.
