I don’t claim to be a journalist. I hold myself to higher standards of transparency and disclosure.

He will take a reduced role at TechCrunch but continue to report to Huffington. Investments will be disclosed on the blog. AOL is putting about $10 million into the fund. Armstrong:

We have a traditional understanding of journalism with the exception of TechCrunch, which is different but is transparent about it.

The fund has deployed just over half its capital, and the internal rate of return (IRR) is 20%-30%. It is reported to be in the very early stage of pre-marketing for a second fund, having reached out to just a few of its 61 limited partners, including AOL. Armstrong is due to sit down with Gallagher later in the month.
