Dear reader,
This is Timothy Motte, founder of The Realistic Optimist.
Thank you for buying a paid subscription. I am honored by your trust.
I started The Realistic Optimist to cover the global startup scene, one of this century's most significant economic sectors. This sector lacked its global, professional, premium publication. That's what we're building.
Every week, we publish exclusive, well-written interviews with founders, VCs, and operators from around the world. We are also working on long-form articles to make sense of macro themes we're seeing in the market.
There are two, complementary ways to use your RO subscription:
1) As an evergreen, benchmarking resource
Save the RO website's tab in your browser. Visit our 100+ library of existing articles whenever you're exploring a specific continent, country, vertical... By using the "search" icon on the top right, you can filter by continent, country, and vertical.
2) As a discovery mechanism
Every week, you will receive new RO articles directly to your inbox. These will introduce you to new startups, new markets, new verticals...
We're profoundly convinced that there is:
- Inspiration to gain from markets that are ahead
- Practical lessons to learn from markets that are similar
- Competitive advantages to glean from markets that are behind
Our weekly articles help you do those three things.
You're in good company. Paid subscribers work at Endeavor Catalyst, Seedstars, Reflect Ventures, Speedinvest, i2i Ventures, Sabah Fund, Razor Capital... We're also a Harvard Business School resource.
To modify/cancel your subscription: when logged in, you can handle those matters by clicking the bottom right button.
If you'd like to introduce yourself or have any questions, please write me at tim@realisticoptimist.io
I'd be happy to assist (and meet) you.
Enjoy your reading,
Tim
