You have to skate where the puck will be so you know where the opportunities are. Checking out startup news sites comes with many benefits, as you’ll know where the opportunities may lie. For example, if you’re exploring new opportunities, knowing which startups just got funded will be beneficial, as many will start hiring. Another example is the development in AI—how do you keep up with it? The best option would be X. Here are some top startup news websites worth exploring. Many of them offer weekly newsletters and blogs that are highly beneficial.
8. Reddit Startup Groups
If you want to see what people are building, checking out Reddit is a good option. Subgroups such as r/startups/ are worth exploring. The only thing is that they are notoriously strict when it comes to promoting a product, so be careful, as you may get banned!
7. Product Hunt
Product Hunt has evolved from its early perception and now features more enterprise products. If your product is not featured on the homepage, it’s a challenge to get noticed due to the new algorithm, but it is still worth checking out.

5. Indie Hackers
Indie hacking, also known as bootstrapping, is on the rise. With the development of AI, the next billion-dollar company could be a one-person operation with an AI assistant. Indie Hackers is a good source for those interested in bootstrapping from a side project to a full-time income.

1. Founders Press
Founders Press is one of the very few publications that cover early-stage startups. The majority of startup news out there is either about fundraising or layoffs, but there are many good stories that have not yet been covered by mainstream channels. This is where Founders Press fills a big gap in the startup ecosystem.
