Trevor here. I’m experimenting with a shorter format (<5 startups per post) and publishing every Tuesday and Friday.
The idea is to remove the long email in your inbox and make it a fun snack to read on the go.

🚀 Submit Your Startup
I’m always open to working with all types of founders, no matter their ethnicity, gender, origin, or socio-economic background.
Please fill in this form if you want me to review your startup and product. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn as well.
As a rule of thumb, I look at startups who have at least built a minimal viable product.
I look for strong positive signals using the FPTM model: Founders — Product — Traction — Mission.
