Hey everyone. I made this! Am here if there are questions.
Jack Smith
@thesamparr when people subscribe, do they get access to the facebook group and past issues?
Sam Parr
@_jacksmith @kensavage past issues AND FB group!
Jack Smith
Trends produces the best market research that I've ever come across. I've found it it to be invaluably insightful. If I were starting a new startup, it's highly likely that I'd be getting my ideas for it from Trends.

@_jacksmith How old is this? when did it launch? have you tried glimpse? how does it compare?
Jack Smith
@danirogerc it’s launching today. i haven’t read Glimpse reports, they seem more data centric with graphs and stuff. eg Glimpse has a chart showing that Hims is taking off. Trends had a case study interviewing the Hims founder and employees highlighting how they got successful, which agencies and people they hired, what tactics they used etc.
Jack Smith
@danirogerc yeah - very deep research
Ben Lang
Congrats on the launch. Let's see how this compares to my favorite newsletter Glimpse. 👀
Jack Smith
@benln having checked out Glimpse also, the level of depth in The Hustle's analysis is much more detailed. Though I haven't checked out Glimpse's $400+ per month plan, which claims to have more analysis. see Sam (CEO)'s other comments for an example of Trends' previous content

is there an example email?
Jack Smith
@r44d I think that they're rolling out examples. Here's one previous email: https://mailchi.mp/c1c62b7aeca9/... unfortunately the link to the Hims case study (which was AMAZING - imho their best content yet) isn't working if not logged in yet, but chatting with them about if possible to put it live to share for free

This is a legit business tool not just more information for your stream. To dig into it, you'll want up to 30m of some quiet time and you'll be rewarded with lots of interesting data points and research.
Andreas Duess
Agree with the group that a preview would be nice, but will give this a shot. My concern is that the content might be too broad to be useful, but we'll see.
Jack Smith
@andreasduess Here's a sample: https://mailchi.mp/c1c62b7aeca9/... unfortunately the link to the Hims case study (which was AMAZING - imho their best content yet) isn't working if not logged in yet, but chatting with them about if possible to put it live to share for free agreed about the content being broad - what's great is that you can get access to their Facebook group and then request which topics you'd like them to research next. So if there's an area that you're particularly interested in, you could lobby them to research that
Heinz Grünwald
Just subscribed. I would have liked some kind of preview - but I am too curious! Don't disappoint me ;)
Sam Parr
@heinz_grunwald Thank you!
Jack Smith
@heinz_grunwald now that you're subscribed, can you see the past reports? I highly recommend checking out the Hims case study
Amedeo
looks interesting but would be great to get a bit more information like an example of a previous weekly newsletter
Jack Smith
@amedeodamore @devindcnn see below, Sam has shared a previous newsletter as an example
Nazir Dashtiev
I don't know anything about Trends, but Hustle's email subscription is amazing. I hope Trends will build the same level product.
Daniel Roger Casanova
How do you stack against Glimpse?
Ryan Hoover
@danirogerc Glimpse is great. Subscribing to this too.
Daniel Roger Casanova
@rrhoover I just wish there was a one-time price for this at the start (for early adopters lifetime) instead of an annual based subscription. It's a bit hard to justify for an e-mail per week
Jake Gibson
@rrhoover @danirogerc or a monthly subscription would be good too
Jack Smith
@danirogerc just to clarify, it's not just one email - the email contains links to in-depth case studies etc
Daniel Roger Casanova
Do you have a demo so that I can decide If I should purchase the one-time price or not?
Sam Parr
@eulerr Thank you!
Nathan Szeitli
How does this have so many up votes? It's a 300 dollar newsletter with no trial
Jack Smith
@nathanszei it has so many upvotes because 1) it's awesome, 2) it feels a need that people on product hunt clearly have
Omar Ghorbel
looks interesting, but is it possible to get some outdated newsletters in order to decide if i should pay for your product or no
Jack Smith
@omar_ghorbel yes, check the other comments. Sam the ceo has shared
Paul Comba
You guys should do a free trial I would check it out
ncrowder
I don't see the cost, unless I'm just missing it.
Joe Speiser
loving this product, and worth every penny. The insights are deep and original, definitely not something you could find for free anywhere online.
Khrystsina Trusava
That's a useful tool. But how do you make sure you have really all startups covered?
Rahul Viswakarma
Great concept and efforts.
Matthew Rouzaud
I signed up for $1 free trial and ended up forgetting that my account existed. Unfortunately, I didn't get any notifications and was charged $300. I noticed the charge on my bank card two weeks later and asked for a refund. Stating that I had never even logged into the platform and would like a refund. I understand that they they have a refund policy, but at the very east be flexible in a situation like this where I didn't even use the product. And for that, I wouldn't recommend the platform.
Aila Villanueva
@matthew_rouzaud I seem to find it rare , I mean well setup recurring subscription notifications and the system itself, informing about upcoming payments on trial screens and so on. Kind of typical "lets see how much we can make form peoples short term memory" :)
