When I first agreed to take on writing Term Sheet alongside the inimitable Jessica Mathews last fall, I was admittedly pretty nervous. Well, really nervous. Term Sheet’s brand and prestigious alumni—including Axios’s Dan Primack and Lucinda Shen, The Profile’s Polina Marinova Pompliano, and the New York Times’s Erin Griffith—left big shoes to fill, to say the least. And frankly, I wondered if I’d be able to pull it off. But as I write this, my final Term Sheet, I’m so glad I said yes.
I’ve truly learned so much—about venture and myself. Thanks in huge part to my wonderful and long-suffering editor Lee Clifford (who hired me over four years ago), my amazing partner-in-crime Jessica, our incredible newsletter team Jack Long and Courtney Dennis, and the first-rate Jackson Fordyce and Joe Abrams on the deals section, the past year has been one of the most exciting and rewarding of my career. And all of you, the Term Sheet reader community, have made my time on this newsletter so fulfilling. It’s been so fun meeting you at conferences and events around the city, and your emails have warmed my heart and taught me a lot. But all good things must come to an end, and today is my last day at Fortune. I’m excited to say I will soon be joining the Financial Times-backed news site Sifted, where I’ll be covering European startups and venture capital and writing the (soon-to-be daily) flagship newsletter—and I’ll be moving to Berlin to do it!
