👋 Hi from Turner |
Thanks for subscribing to The Split! I'm Turner Novak, founder of Banana Capital. |
In the summer of 2022 I started publishing The Split. Since then, its grown to reach over 15,000 founders, investors, and everyone in between. The content is similar to what I tweet to 146,000 followers on Twitter, just a little more serious. |
🍌 What is The Split? |
I send The Split twice per week, with commentary on the topics I'm following, deep dives on interesting startup stories, topped off with a healthy serving of memes. Right now, its all written by me, Turner, with ad-hoc help from my team at Banana. |
Topics in The Split will always be some form of “something interesting that not enough people are talking about yet”. I also throw in: |
- 🚀 Product Launches: Interesting new products, from startups to big tech.
- 🔗 Charts and Links: The best reads I've come across since I sent the last email.
- 💼 Career Services: Matching outstanding candidates with jobs at 50+ Banana Capital portfolio companies and other breakout startups and venture capital firms. Check out the launch post here for more details.
- 🐵 Monkey business: Memes that capture the current zeitgeist.
- 👀 And more: I'm still experimenting with this, but there are some other fun initiatives in the pipeline.
|
And every email subject line will start with a 🍌 emoji so you know it's from me. |
