“There are a lot out there and I have sampled lots of 'em. This one is concise, well edited, relevant to seed stage, has the occasional female founder (unusual), and avoids over-use of annoying filler words (pls stop saying awesome and like very fifth word, hosts).

Others tell you all the great things they're going to deliver, but end up falling short because the content is so high-level and broad that it becomes superficially useful. Traction doesn't suffer from the latter. Great content....”Read full review »
