I have spent years around startups and a stint at a VC, which means I've learned a lot of things by watching other people get them wrong first.
Now I'm writing them down so you don't have to.
What is Scaling Insights?
A publication.
It lands in your inbox when there’s something in startups or venture capital worth knowing, and stays quiet the rest of the time.
That’s the whole pitch.
What will Scaling Insights cover?
Two Things:
Beyond The Pitch Deck - Sent Weekly
How to land a job at a VC or a startup.
Stories from founders and investors around the world, in their own words.
Sector deep dives - why VCs have scouts, the rise of AI analyst at VCs, the downside of discounts at early-stage startups, and many more.
The Daily Raise - Sent Daily
Daily updates on startup fundraising, new VC fund, VC fund raises, and exits in your inbox.
And more. If it’s about startups or venture capital and nobody else is covering it; it belongs here.
Who’s behind it?
I'm Loges. I'm a scout at LvlUp Ventures. Previously I worked at startups and a VC, which apparently qualifies you to have opinions in newsletter form.
I sometimes post on X at logeswaryX. For startup funding submissions, check this Linktree.
