Twitter Veteran Dick Costolo to Join Board of Patreon

Re/code: Life after Twitter is looking pretty artsy for former CEO Dick Costolo. Patreon, a startup that helps artists raise money for their creative projects, has announced that Costolo has joined its board of directors. CEO Jack Conte said that Costolo, who he got to know at Allen & Company’s annual Sun Valley conference this summer, is taking a voting board position, not just joining as an adviser. “I don’t think I know anybody who’s as candid and straightforward as Dick.”
