AmericanINNO, a newsletter about local Startups & tech
I’m actually subscribed to the DCInno and BostonInno newsletters, whose parent company just rebranded as AmericanInno. Every day, I get a rundown of tech news focusing on these metro areas, as well as meetups and events that are happening in and around the cities.
