Hey everyone, founder here. A few friends and I built Glimpse to surface trending topics - companies, products, industries, everything - and we send out curated trend reports via email. The way it works is we first capture nearly every topic online, then we look at frequency of discussion, searches, shares, etc. around each topic. Beyond just the growth in frequency, our software looks for indicators that a trend is…

You're replying directly to the founder. Maybe try to be a little more constructive?
Why does it matter that the comment is directed at the founder? No sense in screaming at a customer service rep to change company vision/direction/policy.

I'm in the same boat -- stop sending me emails. If your tool is based on email, I'm not going to use it. Why does it matter that the comment is directed at the founder? No sense in screaming at a customer service rep to change company vision/direction/policy.
SMS? Fax? PDF printed and sent via snail mail? Facebook Message? Randomly logging in to their website to check if a new report is out?
I always hear people complain about how many emails they get but I never understand it. I guess most people just passively give out their email address to everybody and are surprised when it gets out of hand. If you use apple mail the unsubscribe button is at the very top of every email.
I viciously unsubscribe to anything I don't want, and because of this, email is my preferred method of accessing content on the internet. No crazy JS, no pop up ads, no loading 50 different trackers, no social media viral outrage, just a self-curated stream of content I want.

Launching something new is always hard and I'm happy for you.
I would look at: https://scottscheapflights.com/
They have a similar business model to your product, and I think they do a great job balancing free and paid.
Another great model for what you're doing is: https://www.instagram.com/chartrdaily/?hl=en
Personally, I think you guys are trying to upsell too early. I would hide the upsell more and focus more on converting subscribers and delivering more value up front.

I checked your site but didn't get if you can search those trends by keywords. My area is quite niche so going throught the list of topics can take quite a long time.

So, assuming you're interested receiving these reports, how do you propose they send them to you then? SMS? Fax? PDF printed and sent via snail mail? Facebook Message?
