Welcome back, friends! The most clicked link from last week was the piece from Equal Ventures on startup moats and why they matter. And this week, our inaugural sponsor is outsourced thought leadership firm intellence. With that said, let’s get into Week 10.

If you’re new, welcome 🙌 — you’ll receive a weekly digest like this one every Monday and, generally (but not always), an original essay/article on Saturdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
