What steps did you take to produce this? I got something drastically different from ChatGPT when I copy-pasted the entire page and said "summarize this: " followed by prompt 2: "summarize this in bullets"

Neat. If an RSS feed of new memos existed, I'd subscribe. If an RSS feed already exists, consider adding the feed URL to the site header so that visitors can use "RSS auto-discovery" - https://www.rssboard.org/rss-autodiscovery . And thanks for creating this.

FYI, many VC funds' blogs have RSS feeds you can subscribe to [1] [2]
