We believe

That life is too short to work at a boring company

Our Story:
In June 2009 on the day of Chris McCann‘s college graduation he threw all of his belongings into his car and moved up to Palo Alto in Silicon Valley with the hope of joining a startup and becoming part of the startup community.

Because he was new to the area, he attended events like hackathons, usergroups, and educational meetups to get started in the community. He sent the first edition of “StartupDigest” in November 2009 to 22 friends who wanted to do the same.

We created StartupDigest with the belief it should be easy for anyone to connect with and become a part of their local startup community.
 

StartupDigest Principles
Here are the principles that guide how StartupDigest works.

  • Curated – We believe in hand picking the best information for our members.
  • Personal – We believe that the best information comes from the people who are actively building meaningful things in the tech community.
  • Action – We believe that you have to take action to get what you want in life.

 

Our mission
Is to help you find the resources you need to start or join the best tech startups.

We do this through publishing newsletters and organizing resources of the best tech startup events, a reading list of the best articles, and videos from around the world. Everything we feature is chosen by curators who are active founders, hackers, designers or investors just like you. Here are just a few of them:

We also organize a StartupDigest VIP club that helps for the best people in technology to meet each other and join the world’s best startups. We believe that joining a meaningful startup should be a simple, easy, and friendly experience.
