Let me explain.

We’re making significant changes to bizblip, and I want to ensure both our paid subscribers and free readers understand what’s happening.

Key Points:

  1. bizblip is transitioning from a news blog to a multi-sided information marketplace focused on early-stage tech startups.
  2. Our news production has been temporarily reduced while we develop new products.
  3. The paywall is being removed for now – all content will be free during this transition.

What This Means for You:

  • Free access: All readers will have free access to our content for the time being.
  • Reduced content: You’ll notice fewer news articles as we rebuild our news system.
  • New focus: Our content will increasingly expand our geography from Missouri to North America.

Upcoming Developments:

  1. AI tool for VCs: We’re launching a product to help venture capitalists efficiently review pitch decks.
  2. ESO portfolio tracker: We’re creating a tool for Entrepreneur Support Organizations to monitor their portfolio companies’ growth in real-time.
  3. Improved news system: Once our new products bring more companies onto the bizblip platform, we’ll overhaul our news system to provide more personalized, relevant content.

Future Plans:

  • We plan to reintroduce paid subscriptions once our new system is in place.
  • You’ll have a free trial of the new services before being asked to subscribe.

We appreciate your patience and support during this transition. While our news output may be reduced temporarily, we’re working hard to bring you more valuable services in the near future.

Thank you for being part of the bizblip community.
