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
~400 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 ~4,200 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 4,200+ startups and sends you five names every Sunday. Free to start. [YOUR LINK]
