Curated10: From a Habit to a Product

Every morning began the same way: a dozen browser tabs, three newsletters that overlapped, and an hour lost separating signal from noise. We weren't trying to build a company; we were trying to solve our own problem. We wanted one place that told us what actually mattered in tech, AI, and the markets, without the scroll.

So we built it for ourselves first. A simple filter, then a sharper one, then a system that could tell the difference between a headline and a story worth fifteen minutes of a founder's or investor's attention. What started as a personal habit, reading with intent instead of reading everything, slowly turned into a discipline. And a discipline, refined enough times, becomes a product.

That product is Curated10.

Curated10 is a curation engine, not a news feed. Every category runs the same rule: out of everything published that day, only the handful of stories that genuinely change what you know get through. Ten, sometimes a few more when the day earns it, never more than that. It's the name and the promise in one word.

We publish across the categories that matter to the people who read us: technology, AI, information security, finance, founders and company-building, and sustainability, with more added as the ecosystem shifts. Each one gets its own daily briefing, written for someone who already knows the space and doesn't need it re-explained.

Every day, Curated10 sends focused briefings across the categories our readers care about most:

• AI: what's actually shipping, the models, the money, and the products they end up in.
• Tech: the moves shaping big tech, devices, and the systems companies run on.
• InfoSec: breaches, threats, and the fallout, written for the people who have to respond.
• Finance: money in motion, fintech, payments, markets, and digital assets.
• Founders: how companies get built, founders, product, and the growth behind them.
• Sustainability: climate tech, clean energy, and the capital moving the transition.

Daily briefings tell you what happened. Once a week, we step back and tell you what it means.

Our weekly newsletter is built specifically for private equity, venture capital, and investment professionals who need the full picture, not just the headlines: IPOs, funding rounds, M&A activity, new funds being raised, and the shifts across public and private markets. It's the trends to watch, the capital movements that matter, and the context that turns scattered news into an investment thesis, global first, India close behind.

Alongside the weekly newsletter sits Funding 360, a complete, consolidated list of every startup that raised funding that week. No digging through press releases, no piecing together a dozen sources. If a deal happened, it's on the list: the company, the round, the amount, and the investors.

Funding 360 and the weekly newsletter are published together, so the narrative and the raw data always arrive side by side: the story of the week, and the receipts.

Curated10 didn't start with a business plan. It started with the belief that good judgment about what to read is worth more than access to more things to read. That belief is still the product today; we've just built the infrastructure to apply it at scale, across more categories, for more people who value their attention as much as we do.
