Google Ventures partner Wesley Chan will be leaving his investing role to become an entrepreneur in residence at the firm, he said today. Chan has spent nearly 12 years at Google, but he divides those years into eras of finding new projects, helping them grow and moving on: That includes Google Analytics, Google Voice and Google Ventures. Now he has ideas about something new he wants to start — and he’s doing so under the Google umbrella, of course. Maybe one day he will actually fly the coop. Chan’s investments in companies such as AngelList and Firespotter Labs (UberConference) will be passed to other partners.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
