Dan Primack is the business editor at Axios and the voice behind Pro Rata, the daily newsletter and podcast that has become required reading for the venture capital, private equity, and M&A worlds.

Over two decades he has built and rebuilt the same beat three times, launching peHUB at Thomson Reuters, Term Sheet at Fortune, and Pro Rata at Axios, turning the unglamorous mechanics of who-bought-whom into a daily must-read.
