On Sunday morning, there’s nothing better than a good coffee and your favourite newsletter. Sure you could read about some thrilling criminal investigation or political intrigue, but if you are a startup founder, and you want to maintain your edge even when you are relaxing, we have you covered.
We’ve been deep into the world of startups, valuation and fundraising for a decade now. Here are the newsletters that we most regularly read, and always recommend to founders.
This is obviously geared toward the world of technology startups, startup financials and fundraising – but there’s a little something for everyone in here:
