It is something we have a limited amount of. And I'm constantly thinking about how to invest it wisely. As you may know, we do more than just this newsletter. We have Startup Chat and Startup Deals of course, but I personally also do a lot of consulting, and workshops on modern entrepreneurship. Additionally, we have a co-working space to run. I believe all of this ties together very well, but I can also see a negative impact on either if I do too much of or for the other. Do you have these issues? If so, I'd love to hear.
Apart from our curated content, here's a Startup Founder interview with Nick Martin on his entrepreneurial career through time. You can get yours here. 🖊
