What does VC Lab use to send out newsletters to us? Do you have your own in-house email system (e.g. Sendgrid + own magic) or something off the shelf? What are other folks using for sending newsletters? Here is what I know:
1. Decile Hub will one day have full newsletter functionality but now you'd need everyone in a specific pipeline, specific stage where the next action is sending an email, and you can bulk select only 50 prospects at a time.
2. Many use Mailchimp (they just reduced their free tier's capacity). Tbh I am not a fan of sending financial information out via a tool that has a chimp in it. Just my personal branding taste. Looking for something more corporate.
3. Some recommend Visible but I couldn't find their website, too many Google results.
4. Some use
Anything else?

Great questions! We integrated SendGrid for non-gmail/outlook connected accounts, and we also use SendGrid for larger blasts like our newsletter. Hub will have newsletter functionality, hopefully by the end of Q2, but there is a lot of pipeline-focused work to be done, so it may slip beyond that. If you need to do a larger email send, there is another option available, and I'll send you a message in a private channel about it. By the way, Paperstreet looks cool and I'd love to see it. You can send it to me at travis@vclab.fund.
