StrictlyVC

StrictlyVC delivers a morning rundown of venture funding news, but the original interviews with investors and founders give it more personality than the average deal-tracking digest. It's read widely inside Silicon Valley as a way to catch up on financings and the conversations happening around them.

Beyond the daily deal list, the newsletter is known for its access. Investors use it to signal their thinking on markets and sectors; founders use it to gauge sentiment. That mix of hard data and insider color is what separates it from newsletters that stick to funding announcements alone.
