Hello reader,
You either win, or you learn.
At least that’s what I tell myself every time I lose on the football field, which happens more often than I would like. It’s the same in the tech and startup world, where continuous learning is a necessity to compete.
Today’s Thoughtful Tidbits contain a few examples of ways we can all stay intellectually curious, while Habitto, one of the startups that scored funding this week, is all about financial education. Fundraising is also a learning experience, as you’ll see in Behind the Glasswall.
Enough about learning and losers though – on to those who won this week by scoring funding.
