  Personal news: It's TC to VC for me! I'm leaving TechCrunch to join SignalFire as a principal investor & head of content. I'm also launching my newsletter where I'm writing now: https://constine.substack.com/ A “toast”, to the future! https://twitter.com/...

  Congrats to @JoshConstine for joining the ranks of @alexia, @ryanlawler, @kylebrussell, @JohnMannes, @Haje, @mgsiegler, and, of course, the inestimable @arrington on the move from TC to VC. Who did I leave out from this? https://twitter.com/...

  Moving on from 8.5 years at TechCrunch hurts. It's the best at startup news because editors like @panzer trust our intuition about what's worth covering before the funding & traction. They let me be me. I'll bleed green forever, as I wrote here https://techcrunch.com/...

  Some of my best work at TechCrunch also has Josh's name on it. I'm glad to have spent some of my time in this world working with and learning from him. https://twitter.com/...

  Still liking my theory that every ambitious tech journalist tired of simply taking notes on the action ends up in VC. https://twitter.com/...

  This is the problem with tech journalism in a nutshell. Every ambitious, talented journo can make way more money for way less work writing for tech than about tech. https://twitter.com/...

  @gaberivera Gurman was gunning for me but I think you're going to be seeing a lot of @nmasc_. But for real, Techmeme lit a fire under me every day for 10 years. My IP is probably a meaningful chunk of your page loads. Thanks for giving structure to a unstructured job

  One dynamic in tech journalism is that a good story asymptotically approaches a good investment memo, and the pay is better on the buyside. This predates blogs, too: Bill Gurley and Ben Rosen both did newsletters. https://twitter.com/...

  Been an honor to work with Josh - if you have the opportunity I highly suggest you do the same https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Josh is going to be a great VC. His instincts have always led him to the next great companies and I have loved reading his work. Also kudos to @panzer @eldon @arrington who built a culture and strong team that keep making this TC to VC leap https://twitter.com/...

  Congratulations to @JoshConstine. I love seeing journalists move on to becoming productive members of society! One of the best of the best. We never overlapped at TechCrunch, but I very much wish we had. https://twitter.com/...

  Josh leaving TC is truly the end of an era for tech reporters. Selfishly relieved he's hanging it up after he'd just revealed he was good at long-form profiles, too :) https://twitter.com/...

• @alexia Alexia Bonatsos on x

  Josh is going to be a stellar VC. https://twitter.com/... I can't wait to see him on the Midas List. https://twitter.com/...

  @JoshConstine Whoa, congrats on the big move Josh. It's been a pleasure.

• @suhel Suhel Banerjee on x

  @JoshConstine Ha! Just noticed your personal news made it to Techmeme, what a mic drop:) https://twitter.com/...

  10 years ago, @Eldon gave me a shot at writing about what I loved — social tech — despite having zero journalism experience. He gave me this life I love. Everyone should be so lucky as to have mentor like him https://twitter.com/...

  Josh Constine has been traded by TechCrunch to SignalFire for a 7th round pick after numerous internal arguments about his request for a hair salon in his home office and a $45,000 expense for something called a “Party Goose”
