Cory Weinberg

About

I'm a senior reporter and deputy bureau chief of finance at The Information. Email: cory@theinformation.com. Story tips: 929-273-0084. Message me for my Signal number. I like writing in-depth stories about tech companies and finance, particularly about how corporate finance decisions affect real people. I’m currently on the IPO beat, reporting on tech firms’ rocky pathways to the public markets, as well as M&A and private funding deals. Previously, I reported extensively on Airbnb, WeWork, and the tangled relationship between tech firms and the Bay Area. The Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing awarded me a first-place award for my coverage of tech worker layoffs in 2020. I also hosted The Information’s 411 podcast. I recently completed my MBA at Columbia Business School after earning the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship, a one-year program that pays for business journalists to study business, economics and finance. My first beat out of college had me covering housing and commercial real estate for the San Francisco Business Times. I was named one of the best young journalists in the country by the National Association of Real Estate Editors. Two of my favorite bylines came from writing for The New York Times about transgender MBA students and for the Reykjavík Grapevine about a remote music festival hosted by a paraplegic sheep farmer. I was born and raised in South Florida. I earned a BA in economics from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and lived in San Francisco for seven years. I also love baseball.
