“Follow the Gradient is sooo good. Every other week a screenshot of one of your newsletter gems makes it into one of our team Slack channels. That's relevance.✊”

“Dear Melanie and Christian, Just to remind you that you’re doing an excellent job with your weekly newsletter! Even if you may have heard this several times before, I really appreciate receiving updates and inspirational stories from the startup field every week! Thank you for your dedication, and please continue the great work!”

“I just listened to your latest podcast with Francine. It was so interesting! 🧠I've been through an acquisition as an employee and it was so insightful to hear the other side.”

“I just listened to your podcast with Francine on the plane. Super, super cool and inspiring! ”

“Startup tip: There are newsletters, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 there are newsletters—and Follow the Gradient by Melanie Gabriel and Christian Woese definitely falls into the latter category!

They curate fantastic insights for startups every week, featuring both written content and podcasts. 🥇”

“Follow the Gradient rocks. The content is sooo valuable. Great mix between humour, food for thought and insights. Really cool!”

“Just subscribed to your newsletter. Exactly what I needed especially as I'm currently looking for a summer internship / working student position at a startup. So cool and very interesting. ”

“Your newsletter is AWESOME! Great content, and I love the sense of humor in it!”

“Love, love, love the content. The piece about PMF was the find of the week for me. So happy to have found it in your newsletter here! Many thanks + keep it up!”

“Dear Melanie, Dear Christian, I would just like to let you know that I find your newsletter super relevant every week. Thank you so much for your work! ”

“Dear both, A friend told me about your podcast, I've listened to all the episodes in the last 2 days, hands-down I just love it, why: the topics are great, the answers have real content and are helpful, not just speakers who just talk about themselves and in the end you haven't really learned anything, my favorites so far are Stanislaw (who is this guy? love him) and Francine (super powerful insights), Francine in particular I found extremely helpful because she says everything I always tell our startups. Next time, I recommend our founders to listen to this episode :)”
