👋 Hey Hunters and thanks for the hunt @bramk
A couple of months ago, I realized that I was spending WAY too much time reading TechCrunch etc. so I asked someone from my team to send me a 1-minute memo of the need-to-know tech news each week.
Founders I shared it with loved it so we made a (nicer) public version of it 😊
🤓What’s The Tech Memo?
An efficient way to keep an eye on what’s happening with major tech players without distracting us from working on our own companies/products. The Tech Memo is a single push notification a week with a 1-minute summary of the need-to-know news in mainstream tech. For now, you can get the text+video version via email or the video version via Messenger/Instagram.
🛠How is it made?
The Tech Memo is made using a mix of deep learning, space dust and blockchai…
Just joking 😋we gather the most shared news in technology each week and filter for relevance to keep the 6-10 most globally relevant ones. We then make a 2 sentence summary for each which we use in the weekly email and video. The design was made by master of landing pages cortes.design 👨🎨
🤔How does it compare to Sip, Morning Brew, The Hustle etc?
The Tech Memo is a once-a-week minimalist solution to keep yourself up to date with high-level facts. It’s on the productivity side rather than entertainment so complements longer-form/more frequent publications nicely (I personally read and love The Hustle).
🚀What’s next?
Iterate on the memo’s format, content and publication channels to continue helping busy founders/makers stay informed and productive!

Hey @_jeremiahs
Can you tell us about how you've grown the service? How did you get your first users? Whats working and what's not working?
@alexsmall711 Hey Alex! Thanks for the question. We got our first users through a Ship Landing page actually (https://www.producthunt.com/upco...) — I'm a pro user so I believe it got promoted on Product Hunt, got a few hundred. For the Product Hunt launch I announced it my network, on a related newsletter and to the existing Tech Memo users.
@arthur_tkachenko Thanks for the kind words! Btw do you know Forward Fooding (looking at your profile description, thought it might be relevant, I can intro)?
I've been receiving the tech memo for months and I really appreciate how concise it is, keeping a general overview of big tech news really efficiently. And thanks to the different formats, you can choose the one you like best.
I like the simplicity of the service, its non-invasive, relaxed pace of updates and that it doesn't take my time away, yet providing all recent insights into tech in just a few sentences. Congrats to the makers!
Pros:
Succinct, simple to consume, regular weekly updates to keep up with the hottest news in tech
Cons:
Are you planning on making a Telegram channel as well?
Hahaha loved the “how its made” intro 😂 Kidding aside I thinks it a good way to filter through all the stuff that’s a waste of time.
A features I’d like to see is receiving this via Telegram. Maybe its another way to differentiate.
Good luck today! 💪🏻
