Welcome to Asia Tech Review, the weekly newsletter for keeping up with the tech industry across Asia.

ATR started in February 2014 as a way to force myself to keep up with news. Today, it is read by a global audience of startup founders, tech VCs, operators at major tech firms, journalists and more.

About Jon Russell

I combine the newsletter with a consulting company called Fully Drafted, which helps tech companies develop narrative, strategy and marketing for the modern era. But in previous lives I was a full-time journalist and crypto VC.

I spent 10 years as a technology reporter and editor specialising in Southeast Asia for media outlets that included The Next Web, TechCrunch and The Ken. During that time, I got to know founders and investors through a front seat as tech, the internet and startups came to the fore.

In search of a new challenge, I joined Crypto.com Capital as a venture partner in 2022 before spending two years with Singapore-based fund GSG.
