MOST venture capital (VC) firm partners have a background in banking or were founders themselves, but Jon Russell’s journey to becoming partner at Crypto.com Capital is quite unconventional.
Russell is most well known for his time at tech news site TechCrunch, where he came into his own, writing stories about the startup ecosystem in South-east Asia and uncovering scoops on funding and other developments.
