Hey Medium, I’m not going to be spamming you about who I am and what I do for a living. Here’s the story.

I decided to parse each and every edition of 50 newsletters curated by StartupDigest experts from around the world. Tens (if not hundreds) of thousands subscribers help curators perfect their digests. That’s why I decided to reverse engineer all of it.

I believe this is one of a few ratings that tell what’s what.

Here are the top 100 sources StartupDigest curators used to cherry-pick [2643] articles on topics ranging from 3D Printing to VC and Wearables.
