About PickMyNews

PickMyNews is a newsletter service aimed at VC, private equity and growth equity firms, with a French-language site. It tackles information overload: too many newsletters, redundant or off-topic articles and missed signals. After a 15-minute onboarding call in which the fund describes its investment thesis, portfolio and areas of interest, an algorithm aggregates hundreds of sources and keeps only what is relevant.

The sources include specialized media, expert blogs, academic publications, databases and sector newsletters. Each issue is a concise briefing readable in about five minutes, delivered weekly on the day and time the team chooses. When several sources cover the same subject, they are merged into a single point, and the content is presented as impartial, with verified, sourced facts and no editorial line.

Deployment is promised within 48 hours, and the way to start is a 15-minute demo with no commitment. The site also mentions secure data handling and verified sources, and an English version of the page can be selected alongside French.
