Fred Vogelstein

Fred Vogelstein is the co-editor and co-founder of the innovation newsletter CrazyStupidTech with VC/journalist Om Malik. For more than two decades before that - at Wired, The New York Times Magazine, and Fortune - he's chronicled Silicon Valley's transformation from a tiny computer industry hub into ground zero for the most powerful companies on the planet. They include some of the earliest investigations into the smartphone wars as well as the rise and growing pains at Facebook. He's been a finalist twice for The Gerald Loeb Award, business journalism's top prize. His 2013 book Dogfight: How Apple and Google went to War and Started a Revolution was published in 17 countries. He's a board member of the Columbia Journalism Review, and treasurer of the San Francisco Writers Grotto. He's also written about his family's struggles with epilepsy, a ten-year journey that drove them to become early users of the ketogenic diet and to help jump start development of the 2018 drug Epidiolex.
