Will VCs start investing into Newsletters, based on Morning Brew success?

Business insider could buy Morning Brew for around $50M. Day after that news, one VC approached to me if I want to sell them my newsletter (https://eastvc.news/). Probably it is coincidence but still nice to see there is an interest. Do you think it could be a new trend that VC could invest into newsletters, since its proven that newsletter can be very profitable?

How to grow newsletter subscribers without base of Twitter followers?

I recently started EastVC.News - weekly newsletter about startup funding in Boston and NYC. First 150 subscribers were relatively easy (friends, LinkedIn, FB groups) but now I'm stuck. Getting max 1-2 subscribers per day. Twitter seems like the best place to promote it but it is super hard to get followers and nobody is answering if you send them messages. Is there any other hack that you did...

Hi all,

I recently spend some time collecting all the relevant resources about startups - from idea to fundraising to have everything in one place.

Any text/video/podcast that you think should be added?
