Can growth in a market be identified as a function of newsletter growth? For the venture capital world, maybe it means saturation. Can there ever be enough newsletters covering venture capital, entrepreneurship, and technology? I think not! Here are the best ones for 2020 and beyond!
You may ask, what makes these great? I’ll give you 3 simple reasons:
- They speak from the heart. They tell it how they see it. That doesn’t make them right (I don’t agree with a lot of it, a lot of the time)! It just makes them authentic.
- They are (relatively) consistent. Creating content consistently is the brand. It’s value. Read and support those that are willing to spend endless hours writing for you.
- All of the topics intersect technology and investment opportunities at the meta-level. You should know where the money is going, having all this data allows us to make better-informed decisions as investors.
I’m sure people will ask, “Do you read all of these?” – The answer is yes. But at a pace I’m comfortable reading at. They all get filtered into a mailbox that I can read at leisure. With this many inputs into my system, it would make reading feel like a job if I felt I absolutely needed to be up to date with everything. I don’t believe in FOMO. I’ll get to it when I get to it.
