What Is The Curious Mind?
The Curious Mind is a weekly research letter about the big ideas shaping markets, technology and how to live a good life. It is written for smart, time‑poor people who want fewer, better sources of insight.
Each issue curates and synthesises ideas from investors, scientists, founders, philosophers and writers, with an emphasis on practical mental models and timeless wisdom—not hot takes.
Who is it for?
Most readers are mid‑ to late‑career investors, founders and senior operators across finance, technology and business who care about both performance and meaning. They want to understand what is happening in the world and how to live and work more deliberately.
If you are curious about markets and technology, serious about your craft and interested in living an interesting life, this is for you.
Who reads The Curious Mind?
The audience includes hedge fund managers, tech founders, venture capitalists, CEOs, family office principals and independent investors, along with a growing group of operators and builders.
Readers often describe the newsletter as one of the few emails they always open because it stretches their thinking, saves them time, and filters signal from noise.
“Yours is one of the few weekly emails I look forward to and read.”
– Author and Family Office Adviser“There is not one time I did not have a huge take‑home value from reading.”
– CEO, Asset Management“I read your comments religiously every weekend and find them insightful on many levels.”
– Managing Partner, Corporate Finance
