Josh Constine moves from startup reporting to investing - Business Insider

After a decade spent reporting on startups, TechCrunch Editor-at-large Josh Constine is leaving the publication to invest in startups at SignalFire,The move deprives the Verizon-owned tech blog of one of its most recognizable names.

"I've written about thousands of startups but I've never funded one," Constine told Business Insider. "But because the fund isn't a huge bureaucratic firm — it's a tight knit team — there's really opportunities for me to learn from brilliant investors and operators who've been at this for years.

By moving to VC investing, Constine is following in the footsteps of several other TechCrunch writers, including founding editor Michael Arrington. But he's doing so at a time when funding for startups may dry up as VCs tighten their purse strings to get through the economic crisis. At TechCrunch, Constine said his focus was writing about startups pioneering new forms of social networking and visual communication. At SignalFire, he said he's hoping to continue betting on that industry, especially if startups can figure out a way to hold onto the throngs of users that have tested out new social apps during shelter-in-place.
