Hello reader,
Last week’s Saturday newsletter featured a diverse bunch of companies getting funding, and this week is no different – a digital bank, a luxury goods resale platform, and an insurtech firm are in this edition’s lineup.
But I don’t want to completely ape the angle taken last week. Instead, I’d like to ask: How do you use the information that you get from this newsletter?
Do you go on to do research on the companies that received funding, or do you take a more macro approach by keeping track of the industries that investors are showering love (and money) on? Or is it something else entirely?
Is this a thinly veiled user feedback gathering session? Honestly, no – I’m just curious. For now though, read on to find out the latest funding and M&A activity.
Have a good weekend, and I’m looking forward to reading your responses.
