Substack x Wefunder Book

substack’s community round:

In April 2023, Substack decided to open up a community round on Wefunder, to let their readers and writers invest in them, alongside Y Combinator, Andreessen Horowitz, and other VCs.

6,918 of their users immediately jumped at the chance, showering the Substack team with a wave of positivity and encouragement. There were too many "investor notes" to fit into the pages of this book, but here's a selection of some of our favorites…
