Hello ProductHunt 👋
New Year, new side project! Venture Reads is a way to find the best resources (curated by me), such as articles, newsletters, useful side projects, podcasts, and videos from Venture Capitalists, VC Firms, and Angels.
This project was mostly inspired by my own interest in perspectives from VCs about tech and startups, but also realizing that these articles and publications could be super useful to founders and makers in general with all the info on growing companies, trends in different industries, etc.
Thanks for checking it out! Got feedback? Tweet me at @nikvimal.
@rrhoover Thanks Ryan! The articles and resources were chosen based on how useful the content is in general and offers a unique perspective, for the articles at least, I really looked at how it can be useful for the maximum amount of people, be it founders or just people looking to see a VC perspective and learn. For the other resources, It was similar with just looking at the most active, and useful in general in terms of quantity and quality of content by doing some listening and looking for topics that go deeper in depth or offer something unique beyond other startup resources (so the articles had this in mind as well).
@nikvimal@rrhoover Love the process. Just to follow up on this, how are you sourcing all content to ensure you might not be missing out on some quality material?
@michaelcjoseph Great question, it's following and keeping tabs on some popular publications plus the new ones I've discovered. Mostly the content was/is being sourced from investing the time to search and explore blogs, Youtube Channels, and Medium. So far with this launch, I've already gotten some amazing recommendations for quality content, which is a big help as well with all the searching.
Venture Reads, this repository of assets from VCs and VC firms, reduces the noise and creates a central location to locate newsletters, podcasts, and more! :D
@as_austin More might be posted, so get your email ready ;)

Congrats on the launch @nikvimal 👏 Very well-built and really useful for people who want to learn more about VC. Perfect to filter through all the content published 👍
I would love to learn more about the making part :
What did help you go from the idea to the making ? An event or article that made you want to do it ?
@mrcalexandre During the last winter break, I spent a lot of time learning about scaling startups, fundraising, and all that. Through all that, i realized that I can probably spin a curated list of the most useful articles that I've found and get it up somewhere. It sort of evolved, as it started way simpler with much less content and curation. No real event or article made me do it, just an idea I had :)
