Our team produces the podcasts “This Week in Startups” (TWiST), “All-In”, and the TWiST Ticker, a newsletter focused on startups and tech. We are a part of LAUNCH, an early-stage firm which invests millions of dollars into dozens of startups every year.

80% of your time will be spent researching news stories covering startups, tech, and public/private markets, and breaking them down for TWiST news segments and the Ticker newsletter, both of which are daily.

The rest of your time will be spent archiving the 1400+ episodes of This Week in Startups, researching and suggesting guests, and learning what it takes to produce a daily podcast and newsletter about startups. The general hours for this role are 12pm-9p ET.
