Yo earlies. ☼

Welcome to the 28th edition of the weekly early.tools newsletter. Every Monday, you will get 5x of the latest notable pre-launch startups delivered to your inbox. I am Julian Paul and I will do my best to update you as tools move through Waitlist → MVP → Launched phases, so you don’t miss a thing in the early startup lifecycle of products that will (most likely) matter.

Edition 028 is proudly brought to you by LaunchList – if you have an idea you want to launch, a viral Waitlist is just what you’ll need…

Some big news → we just passed 700 subscribers with this newsletter and are steadily growing! That is so awesome – thank you so much for your trust and support! To celebrate the occasion, I would love to extend -50% on all plans until the next issue goes out in 7 days. Use code: THANKU50 to activate this at checkout. ✨
