We regret to say that Avery Mullen, who has served as our reporter for several years, is no longer with Entrevestor full-time.

We’re subject to the same economic realities as the rest of the news business, and unfortunately we had to give Avery notice earlier this year. It was a tough decision, given their intelligence, dedication and molecular knowledge of the startup community.

We first met Avery in 2018, when they were a sophomore at the University of King’s College Journalism School. With a keen interest in business journalism, they joined us full-time in May 2021 and have been responsible for our news coverage ever since.

Reporting for Entrevestor isn’t easy. We have high standards of written English, and our reporters must have a solid understanding of business, especially the startup business. They have to be able to explain technology in ways that readers understand. Avery shone at all of these skills as a university student and continued to grow in the ensuing years.  

Since we first met, Avery has been published in several publications, including the Globe and Mail, the Financial Post, the Chronicle-Herald, Callaway Climate Insights of San Francisco, and the Macdonald Notebook.

As well as their superb reporting, we’re going to miss Avery’s cheerful presence. They are a joy to work with and always eager to take on an assignment. 

Avery plans to pursue an MBA next year, aiming for a career in venture capital. They will continue in journalism and commercial writing, and will write occasional articles for Entrevestor.

Carol will now become our primary reporter. We will continue, of course, to produce the Atlantic Canada Startup Data report.

We wish Avery luck with their future endeavors and look forward to publishing their work from time to time.
