What a JV partner earns
The math, honestly.
Newsletter
5,000 subs
~150 clicks, ~3 buyers at Dashboard
~€73/mo recurring
YouTube
20,000 subs
350+ clicks, ~8 buyers
~€196/mo recurring
Community
2,000 members
~120 clicks, ~5 buyers (mix of tiers)
~€135/mo recurring
Podcast
15,000 listeners
~300 clicks, ~10 buyers + 1 Insider
~€340/mo recurring
These are illustrative based on a 2-3% conversion of clicks to paid buyers at Dashboard (€49/mo; Insider is €197/mo). Recurring means it compounds, a partner who sends one campaign a quarter builds a growing monthly income stream. 50% of recurring revenue, paid monthly.

Subject: I found a way to see startups before they raise
I've been reading a signal tool called GitDealFlow. It reads public GitHub engineering activity, commit velocity, contributor growth, repo expansion, across 350+ startups and flags the ones accelerating, 21 to 47 days before the round or the press.
The methodology is published on SSRN. It's free to start, one Sunday email with five names. If you source deals, this is the early read you'd otherwise pay an analyst for. [YOUR CO-BRANDED LINK]
Social post
Most investors hear about a great round the week AFTER it closes. There's a signal that fires 21-47 days earlier, public engineering acceleration. GitDealFlow reads it across 350+ startups and sends you five names every Sunday. Free to start. [YOUR LINK]
