Welcome to the 32nd edition of the startupy newsletter.
 
Also wait, what's startupy? Startupy is where curious humans curate and interconnect the best of the Internet. We're on a mission is to build a more human and nourishing Internet.

 

Hello, friends.
 
I thought I would have time to write a regular newsletter this week but it turns out three children on a thanksgiving holiday break made that.... well, impossible. So instead I'll just make an announcement and share a timely snippet from John Bogle's really good commencement speech.

Introducing the data room for believers
Last week, we gave our believers access to the data room; a raw, unfiltered look inside our journey to building startupy.

Why did we build the data room?
We think so much of what is shared about tech and startups publicly is unhelpful, cliche-ridden, and looks at the past through success-tinted glasses.
 
Consider the data room our version of Internal Tech Emails (one of my fave accounts on the Internet).
 
If you want access to the data room, become a believer.
