GeekWire editor Taylor Soper is leaving the Seattle-based news organization to become director of AI House, the Seattle startup hub that has quickly become a gathering place for AI founders, practitioners, and researchers.
Co-founders Todd Bishop and John Cook write, “Taylor was GeekWire’s first editorial hire, back in 2012, straight out of the University of Washington, when we were in a 10×10 foot office next to the Ballard Bridge.
“In the years that followed, he became one of the most connected and respected business and tech reporters in the Pacific Northwest, covering everything from early-stage startups to Microsoft and Amazon at the highest levels, breaking funding scoops and acquisition news.
“In recent years, as GeekWire’s editor, he has led and coordinated our news team and guided our reporting on everything from civic coverage to artificial intelligence.”
