TLDR; Smoothie is a free newsletter that analyzes data trends and sends founders startup ideas via visual storytelling (sort of like a comic book).
That way, you get the best opportunities through content that's "easy to digest" ๐
Hi Product Hunt ๐
Iโm Matt Kim, Co-Founder of www.withsmoothie.com.
In 2018, I quit my job in Toronto and bought a one-way ticket to San Francisco with no plan. I lived in hostels trying to get a job in tech. I managed to work at Sensor Tower and Facebook for the last 3 years.
Earlier this year, I quit my job to pursue my own startup!
After months of hard work, weโre ready to share what weโve been working on.
Iโve been passionate about entrepreneurship my whole life. But as a founder, it was hard to find the next big startup idea.
Where do you even start?
Marc Andreessen said, โIn a great market - a market with lots of real potential customers - the market pulls product out of the startup.โ
So I asked myself...why not start with the market?
Thatโs why we made Smoothie ๐
Itโs a newsletter that sends data-driven startup ideas through visual storytelling.
Why visual storytelling? Because typical newsletters are boring.

Very honored to know the team & hunt Smoothie!

@okazu thanks so much for supporting Oz. you're been a HUGE help and we couldn't have built Smoothie without you. I'll be making a separate Thank You message for you ๐
Can I provide you a with a storytelling sketch to add to your list of articles? It's about a startup software product I'm working on (details about the product at www.mewatools.com)
I tend to subscribe many things but barely read. Smoothie is one of the few newsletters I actually read til the end. Great job Matt! Keep doing what you do!
@pinar wow thanks so much for the support Pinar! looking forward to sending you awesome ideas/trends
also saw that you're at mobile action! I'm actually meeting up with Aykut today (:
@mattkim_5 subscribed! an amazing way to learn about these topics ๐ I'm curious to learn about the process of creating these engaging visual stories!
@blair_griffiths thanks so much for the kind words Blair! i actually heard of WFHomie before because our previous idea was a virtual event marketplace ๐
@blair_griffiths Thanks Blair. We will be improving a lot from here with the community. Your insights & feedbacks are appreciated as we send out the future articles!
Love newsletters that help curate and summarize information, but this one goes a step above those and has beautiful visuals. Makes for fun, quick but informative reads!
Such a great newsletter! I subscribe to a bunch of different newsletters and at a certain point the walls of text become too much. Smoothie makes it easy for me to understand what's hot within venture capital, in a very easy to digest format! :)
