Ken Yeung, Technology Journalist

Technology is my beat—and I mean that broadly. For more than a decade, I’ve covered the full stack of the industry: consumer products, enterprise software, developer tools, Big Tech, and specialized verticals like adtech and fintech. I follow the money too, tracking how venture capital and business strategy shape what gets built and why.

My work has appeared in The Next Web, VentureBeat, The AI Economy, and GeekWire, where I’ve interviewed founders, executives, engineers, investors, and others to get past the press release and find the story that actually matters.

“…the kind of reporter most editors dream of: smart, reliable, and creative. What stands out to me now was his ability to find a story and craft a narrative…”
— Blaise Zerega, former VentureBeat editor-in-chief

My coverage spans the companies defining modern technology—from the Big Tech platforms shaping daily life (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft) to the enterprise software and infrastructure players building what runs beneath the surface: Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow, AWS, Intel, Arm, and others. In addition, I’m actively tracking advancements in AI, startups. and in the investment community, including news from accelerators such as Y Combinator and TechStars. If it moves markets or changes how people work and live, it’s probably on my radar.

“…well-connected and an accomplished networker; if we needed to talk to someone in Silicon Valley, Ken usually knew a route to them.”
— Martin SFP Bryant, former The Next Web editor-in-chief

My reporting has broken news that moved the industry. I was the first to report Apple’s acquisition of the photo-sharing startup Color, Google’s development of a livestreaming platform, and Google’s acquisition of the mobile app development startup Apportable. These exclusives reflect the sourcing and access I’ve built over the years on this beat.
