The Founder Roundup
We'll be right back
We'll be right back
Welcome back to the Founder Roundup! A big welcome to all our new subscribers.
We took a short break from featuring founders to catch up on a few tasks. We'll be back in your inbox next Tuesday with a great lineup of Founders.
Some housekeeping: For the last several weeks, we've been spreading the word about the startup stack discounts we have for our community. We realized there was an issue with the link that led visitors to an error message. Our mistake! Here is the correct link to access the marketplace.
We're very excited about this initiative. There are enough barriers to starting a company, we want to help make the cost less of an issue.
Weekly Wisdom
If committing sounds like a lot of work, it is.
That’s why so many people are half-in.
The problem with half-in and half-committed is that it doesn’t get you the results you want.
If you're not committed, get out.
Startup School
What are incentive stock options? How are they different from regular options? I broke down the rules and mechanics of these startup securities in the article above.
This was the last article in a series of blog posts to help startup employees better understand their equity. You can check out the entire series on our home page.
I spent several months putting together a handbook on all things startup equity. I've made it available for free to the Startup Founder Daily community. Grab a copy here.
Calling all students
We are so excited to be launching a Campus Ambassador program to (1) spread the word about who we are and what we do, and (2) get the next generation of startup founders plugged in with a community of likeminded students.
Ambassadors will be part of a community (Discord) of entrepreneurial students across the globe. We have some great initiatives in the works including:
Panels, AMAs, and other programming
Workshops to practice vetting early stage companies
Office hours to help plan your career
Lots of swag and other prizes
Can you do us a favor and send this application form to a student you think may be interested? The form can also be accessed by clicking the brochure below.
When starting a newsletter, there are plenty of choices. But there’s only one publishing tool built to help you grow your publications as quickly and sustainably as possible.
beehiiv was founded by some of the earliest employees of the Morning Brew, and they know what it takes to grow a newsletter from zero to millions.
The all-in-one publishing suite comes with built-in growth tools, customization, and best-in-class analytics that actually move the needle - all in an easy-to-use interface.
Not to mention—responsive audience polls, a custom referral program, SEO-optimized webpages, and so much more.
If you’ve considered starting a newsletter, there’s no better place to get started and no better time than now.
There's a reason why The Founder Roundup is growing over 70% month over month.
