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. I’m always open to all types of founders, no matter their ethnicity, gender, origin, or socio-economic background. 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.
