About The Silicon Valley Post

The Silicon Valley Post covers venture capital and startup news, with a current focus on startups in the YC ecosystem. We are generally positive about entrepreneurship and technology and its benefit to humanity.

No Paywalls

All of our coverage is free to read. We believe paywalls decrease the reach and impact of news. Founders, investors, and the broader community should be able to access and share stories without barriers.

No "Gotcha" Journalism

We are clear about what a story is about before and during any engagement with a source. There is no risk of sharing a quote or facts only to find out afterwards it was for a hit piece or negative story. Sources know what we're writing and why.

No Leaks

We write about founders who want to be written about. Our stories are based on information that has been publicly disclosed, reported by other news sources, or shared directly by founders who have opted in to coverage. The Silicon Valley Post does not leak private information.

Investment Firewall

No information obtained through acting as investors ever becomes part of a story. The Silicon Valley Post team works part-time on the publication and has other professional roles. All conversations or information shared with the Silicon Valley Post team are NOT on the record as part of The Silicon Valley Post, unless explicitly agreed and desired to be part of a story. These boundaries are firm.

Accuracy

Our aim is to be factual and clear in everything we publish.

Operated and edited by YC alumni / Pioneer team members.
