I spend a lot of time researching and testing the products. I do this so I can bring you the highest quality startups. I have no affiliation with any of the startups mentioned above. As a rule of thumb, I look at startups who have at least built a minimal viable product. This helps me weed out the builders from the talkers. Send tips my way if you or your friend is building something awesome. If you want more, you can dig through the archives for the previous digests. Support me by forwarding it to a friend, and let them know they can subscribe here. You’re on the free list for Startups Crushing It! For the full experience, become a paying subscriber. |
