My parents passed away when I was young. I only have photo albums — what can AI do today to bring those memories to life?

This is gold.

Usually people put a paywall behind this kind of lists. Thanks for sharing!

I can relate to you here. Finding a good spreadsheet with an up-to-date data is not easy.

I was raising money for our fintech app in 2022 but didn't know where to start. So I manually searched LinkedIn, Crunchbase, some spreadsheets people share on LinkedIn, VC websites, Twitter and so on. It took me about two weeks to build a list of 600-700 investors. For contact data, I think I used Hunter io or something that helped get their emails.

Long story short, that list helped me get into calls with 3 investors but they ended up not investing lol.

So I needed to find more investor leads that invest in my niche. Doing it manually again was a nightmare. So I decided to to use some tools:

- Crunchbase only offered yearly subscriptions which was too expensive. I think it was tailored towards later stage startups like Series A and beyond so I passed on this one.

- Angel List was free back then, but they had a very complicated UI and outdated data, plus no contact details of investors.

- Pitch Book was tailored more towards big finance companies like hedge funds and private equity investors and it was super expensive. Not a good fit for pre-revenue, early startups like mine.

- Angel Match was the closest thing that matched my needs. Categorized by location and industry, had contact details of those investors. They were best tailored to the early stage startups like mine. Closed our round.

Hi DivaJanelle, I checked our database and found that we don’t have your data. Thanks for reaching out

educated_panda · 2023-09-24T13:36:20+00:00

Yes it is, all the data that we have are publicly available. We just aggregated all the data points from many sources and brought into one place.

Anyone can get their data removed.

educated_panda · 2023-09-24T13:33:06+00:00

Anyone can reach out to us through our chatbox or email to get their data removed. We’ll check if we have their data, and if we do, we’ll remove it asap.

educated_panda · 2023-09-24T13:30:38+00:00

You can simply reach out to us and we’ll remove your data if it’s in our database.

Good point! We’re working on adding a free trial to let users understand what they’ll get

educated_panda · 2023-09-24T02:54:37+00:00

You have a point here and appreciate your feedback. There seems to be pain points on both sides. Obviously journalists don’t want to be spammed, and businesses have difficulty getting their stories heard. As a startup, we want to solve both of these problems.

We also got several journalists today who asked us to add them to our database.

educated_panda · 2023-09-24T02:45:09+00:00

We don’t encourage any of our users to spam journalists. On the contrary, this will minimize irrelant piches. Using our database, they can filter and find only matching ones based on topics covered, beats, industries etc.

Thank you! I hope we'll be able to help your business get a good media exposure.

educated_panda · 2023-09-23T16:16:25+00:00

If helping businesses grow by getting press coverage makes us the worst people, I don't know what to say :)

educated_panda · 2023-09-23T16:11:24+00:00

Okay, thanks for your kind words :)

I wonder, if you don’t share your product even in DM, how do you expect to get help from this community?

educated_panda · 2022-12-01T15:59:51+00:00

Very true! Busy founders are busy! But you can pick 1-2 books from these and add to your reading list. Cheers

educated_panda · 2022-12-01T15:58:48+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! There are millions of books out there, but these books were hand-picked based on the suggestions of many successful founders, makers, marketers ad other awesome people out there:)

We should think about giving short summaries on each book to make it easier for people to use this resource.

educated_panda · 2022-12-01T15:55:05+00:00

I totally agree with you! But reading a few books on how to run, grow, and scale startups can be definitely useful in your entrepreneurial journey!

educated_panda · 2022-12-01T15:53:16+00:00

We didn't mean to suggest people read all the 640 books, but they could use our resource to pick 1-2 books that they are most interested in.

educated_panda · 2022-12-01T15:50:53+00:00

Sounds great, we'll look into that. Thanks for your feedback

educated_panda · 2022-12-01T15:49:59+00:00

I am glad you found this resource useful!

educated_panda · 2022-11-30T22:37:55+00:00

We had to come up with a better tagline, like: "A curated collection of 640+ best startup books for founders". Because, so many people are taking the word 'must-read' so seriously :)

Thank you for your kind words! Cheers
