Yo earlies. ☼ Welcome to edition #65 of the early.tools newsletter, now reaching 2585+ readers. Every Sunday, you get a quick rundown of launch updates and the most notable pre-launch startups worth watching. I'm Julian Paul, and I track tools as they move from Waitlist → Alpha → Beta → Launched, so you catch the products that matter early.  | Sponsor Brought to you by The Network — We're hiring and giving grants to solo founders & builders. |
