You've followed the tech and startup world for a long time and have produced interviews with the likes of Tim Cook, Bill Gates, and Jack Ma. What trends are you following now?
I get this question a lot, and the truth is, as a startup and VC reporter, you kind of have to keep an eye on everything all at once. As one smart investor told me, tech has gone from being a vertical to a horizontal. One could argue that every company is now a tech company, so that is how I approach my beat. We cover everything from fintech to consumer-tech startups in every stage, from seed to unicorn, ranging from funding to IPO scoops.
