The Funding Letter #121: May 3

The Early Bird: Lite Edition 🕊

May 03, 2019

What is this? The Funding Letter is a daily venture capital newsletter, built for salespeople, by salespeople. Each Letter is sent directly to your inbox hours before Fortune’s Term Sheet, Axios’ Pro Rata, etc, so you’re tipped off before everyone else’s outreach emails flood your Decision-Maker’s inbox.

What’s more? Each announcement is structured so that you get the most important information, immediately. 

THIS IS THE LITE EDITION. For exclusive members only, you’ll get 10+ more funding announcements, in your inbox, first thing in the morning. We’ve also handled C-Suite Breakdowns and Lead Generation, eliminating the manual work of prospecting by delivering 100’s of new leads for you, each week, so you can spend more time selling.

Forwarded this Letter? Apply for your exclusive membership. Get never-before-seen-access to the fastest growing companies of the day, delivered to your inbox for the price of a large cup of coffee each month.

Good morning and happy Friday. This Lite Edition of The Funding Letter comes to you directly from our headquarters in New York City.
