As Joshua Levy and I continue work on The Open Guide to Startup Fundraising, we’ve been drawing from all the incredible bloggers who have contributed to the base of knowledge on fundraising over the years. We will include this list of bloggers and how to find them in the guide, but I wanted to publish the guide now as a resource while we continue working on the guide.

This list is not supposed to be exhaustive, but rather a list of notable individuals who with blogs that are or were active, influential, and vocal around investing or fundraising.

Individuals names have been linked to their LinkedIn account, the firm they work at has been linked to their AngelList page, links to relevant blogs (Medium in red) have been added, and links to their Twitter accounts are listed (all when available).
