Information, Not Content.

Your time is valuable. That's why we commit to only sharing valuable information about ecosystems, not empty content.

Some companies trick you into signing up for their “thought leadership” newsletter, only to spam you with AI-generated blog posts, recycled ideas, and sales pitches. We take a different approach by sharing:

Q&A about tough ecosystem building questions and challenges
