Look, it’s almost March outside the window!
Since I started my own eCommerce project, all dates as Christmas and V-day make me totally busy, so this week’s newsletter will be short, but I like to think, that you’ll find it really useful. Let’s go!
Research of the week:
38 pages from PitchBook of pure ratings of the most active PE & VC firms, investment banks, law firms, and acquirers in the world, broken down by Assets Under Management, Deals Location, Stages, Deal Type, Industry and HQ location. Must-save!
Articles of the week:
Again and again, I realize how copywriting is important for every aspect of your professional life and even building personal relations online. Again and again, I see how people are struggling because of bad copy and inability to write ads, letters, and their own pitches. While tools automate business processes and replace whole departments, the hand-written text is still being one of the most influential things in the world. Check this brilliant letter from Gary Halbert and learn how to create a really working and powerful copy for business and life.
It’s pretty weird if you are subscribed to this newsletter and are not using LinkedIn for lead generation. Maybe you just don’t know how to approach it, huh? Don’t be shy, read this cool step-by-step guide from Lempod.
Telegram published a guide for developers on how to create and access TON websites. Ready for future (of Hydra)?
Services of the week:
Hunter – service for easy search for emails of any company. It will find all the results contains [name]@yourdomain.com. 50 free searches per month.
CrystalKnows - a freemium service that allows you to learn better your colleagues, partners, and clients and make better negotiations and deals. Check out for yourself, teach their algorithms :)
Autoflip – what’s the newsletter without AI news? Google presented AutoFlip – an open-source framework for intelligent video reframing. Taking a video (casually shot or professionally edited) and a target dimension (landscape, square, portrait, etc.) as inputs, AutoFlip analyzes the video content, develops optimal tracking and cropping strategies, and produces an output video with the same duration in the desired aspect ratio.
Do you want some Flex for the end of the newsletter? Its’s easy-to-use tool for importing data from any API, file, or database table into Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Dozen of ready-to-use integrations like Hunter, Crunchbase etc. Enjoy!
That’s all for today! See you in a week! ❤️🌏
P.S. What’s about one of the best copy ads in all human history for a desert?
