Spotlight Stealth, Early & Growth Startups🔥
Picks of the Week
👋 Hi, I’m Andre and welcome to my newsletter Data-driven VC which is all about becoming a better investor with data & AI. Every Tuesday, I publish “Insights” to digest the most relevant startup research & reports. Every Thursday, I publish “Essays” that cover hands-on insights about data-driven innovation & AI in VC, and every Sunday, I publish “Picks” to spotlight the hottest Stealth, Early, and Growth Startups. Follow along to understand how startup investing becomes more data-driven, why it matters, and what it means for you.
“Picks of the Week” spotlights the hottest stealth, early, and growth startups across regions and sectors (find last week’s edition here).
If you enjoy this new format and want more of it, leave a like, comment, and share it with your friends. If you’re not interested in “Picks”, you can unsubscribe from this specific format at the bottom but continue receiving our Tuesday “Insights” and Thursday “Essays”.
Let’s dive in!
