Premoney List 3
Newsletter tools (meta, I know!), COVID, OnDeck build weekend
Happy Monday everyone,
First, I want to welcome our new subscribers. Up ~55% from last week! Thank you Twitter, & Anthony McGuire for all of the exposure and shares. Please forward to your friends, let me know, and I’ll give you a shout next week!
For those who recently signed up:
The Premoney list is very simple. The goal is to provide founders, tech lovers, angels and fiery sales people like yourselves with a list of fresh up-in-coming companies that are at the beginning stages.
A request from you:
I made a couple more updates to the list, structure etc. from feedback I received throughout the week. Please email me and let me know how you’re using the list & what else you’d like to see.
On to this weeks’ list:
10 Companies
2 with known pre-seed funding
40% female founders or creators
4 from the On Deck community build weekend
Highlights:
Newsletters! You’re reading one right now, but most newsletter readers (60%) have reported having too many newsletters to keep up with. This week, there were a lot of products that provide subtle changes to how newsletters are used, consumed, and integrated into daily life.
Knit combines the newsletter craze, the need for more seamless community building, virtuality, and a well crafted SaaS model. Knit builds a newsletter for teams, which is comprised of responses from teammates to weekly prompts. “We want teams to build a more empathetic workplace by encouraging meaningful sharing.” - Quitin Woods of Knit. Knit is signing up beta-teams for their launch, get in touch to be part of the their first cohort!
Letterstack is a very helpful (trust me!) hub for anyone trying to grow a newsletter following.
Compose AI is focused on using NLP, GPT3, etc. to help auto-write emails. While not directly a newsletter tool…maybe a layer in an automated newsletter discovery tech stack?
All for this week.
As always, please send any feedback you have!
