Walter Thompson’s Biography
I'm an independent journalist based in San Francisco.
I host Fund/Build/Scale, a podcast and newsletter that explores how founders and investors take startups from Day Zero to Series A. Previously, I was Editorial Director at TechCrunch, where I managed the site's guest contributor program and wrote a newsletter about early-stage startups.
