Former Techcrunch editor-at-large Mike Butcher is launching a new title on newsletter-based platform Beehiiv covering tech startups and investment around the world, reports Alice Brooker of Press Gazette.

Brooker writes, “Pathfounders launches with two full-time staff, and two weekly columnists, and will publish content on its website and email newsletter, with a podcast and events also planned.

“Editor Butcher told Press Gazette: ‘There is a need for a technology-focused title which marries up technology entrepreneurship with venture capital.’

“Much of its coverage will be European, the site said, but ‘we won’t stick in that ‘box’. It’s time to make the links with Silicon Valley and tech internationally.’

“‘We’ll be talking about a startup that’s doing AI …defence or… energy,’ he said, adding, ‘Quite a lot of output will actually be more curiosity about what’s going on in the markets.'”
