Carta · Annual State of Private Markets
"Median cash compensation for Head of People at Series B companies rose 14% YoY — but 67% of companies surveyed hadn't updated their bands since their last raise."
Chosen because this is the number your CFO will cite in your next comp review. Read it first.
Reforge · Org Scaling Memo
"The companies that survive 50→150 headcount don't hire a Chief of Staff — they redesign information flow before it becomes a management crisis."
Every founder I know who read this forwarded it to their board. Dense, practical, worth the 12 minutes.
Paradigm · Inclusion Index 2025
"Representation metrics tell you who arrived. Belonging metrics tell you who stayed, who was heard, and who got the stretch assignment."
The methodology section alone is worth bookmarking. A framework you can actually bring to your next leadership offsite.

I used to spend Sunday evening pre-reading six different newsletters so I could sound credible on Monday morning. Now I spend that time with my kids. Curate does the synthesis I used to do myself — and it's better than mine was.
