How to pick the right venture capital newsletter

Who these newsletters work best for

  • Software for VC firms: deal sourcing, portfolio monitoring, fund admin
  • Banking, legal and HR tools for startups
  • Data products for investors

What to check before you book

  • Investors or founders? Some VC newsletters are read by fund managers, others by founders raising money.
  • Go narrow for fund tools. A newsletter for fund CFOs or emerging managers reaches the exact buyer.
  • Keep it credible. This audience is small and well-connected; a sloppy ad is remembered.
