Hey HN! My friend Leslie and I created Venture News to easily keep up-to-date with the buzz in the VC community. It is great for people who are interested in VC/startups but don't use Twitter, follow all the VCs on Twitter, or have time to keep up with their timeline.

Since a good fraction of y'all keeps up w/ VC and startup news, it'd be helpful to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

Sorry, not in the near future.

If you look into the Twitter API and have some experience fetching and parsing websites, it isn't too bad. If you don't, its a fun learning experience :)
