Unleash a Summer of Learning

Mid-August. Most of us use our well-deserved summer break as a time to wind down, recharge batteries, zoom out, and get some energy and inspiration for the remainder of the year. For me personally, it’s this time of the year when I consume most content, be it via newsletters, podcasts, videos, online threads, or old-fashioned books. Finding and focussing on the most suitable content is oftentimes a pain and if you’re like me, you surely appreciate dedicated content curations.

So here it comes, the Data-driven VC Content Curation to fuel the remainder of your summer break. It contains the most-read DDVC episodes from the first seven months of 2023, the most clicked links to external content, a collection of related podcasts, and links to Twitter and LinkedIn accounts of the most active DDVC Thought Leaders.
