What's inside

Three deals. Two ones to watch. One word that matters.

01
The Deals
Three funding rounds from the last 24 hours. What the company does, why the valuation holds, what the competitive moat is.
02
Ones to Watch
Two seed or pre-seed companies worth tracking before the rest of the market notices them.
03
International Watch
Three startups. Three regions. Europe, MENA, Asia, Latin America. The deals happening outside Silicon Valley.
04
The Word
One piece of VC jargon, defined short and honest. Because the vocabulary matters as much as the numbers.
The format

Short. Precise. Delivered before the market opens.

EARLY covers startups broadly. AI, biotech, climate, defense, fintech, consumer. The full spectrum of what is being built and funded, without the noise.

Delivered weekdays at 5:30am
