⭐ BINDERY DROP ⭐ Our first four books are officially releasing today. It would be impossible to summarize the philharmonic-level orchestra of activity that has gone into building both this company and this launch over the past year, but there isn’t enough space in a single post to thank the many people who have worked so tirelessly to make it happen. We believe the reason so many have coalesced around Bindery is because our mission matters. We’re here to build a more diverse, equitable, and independent world of books. The book industry at large has suffered as the media landscape has disintegrated over the last two decades. Especially, authors have suffered, forced to sit by as debuts become increasingly hard for publishers to break out in a rapidly fragmenting consumer landscape, as authors’ earnings dropped with their sales projections (42% on average over the last decade), and as the business doubled down on “sure bets” that look like existing bestsellers. We decided to create a publishing model that is structurally different. Bindery empowers tastemakers, who lead highly engaged communities of readers, to start their own publishing imprints and choose what books get published next. This means authors and stories that are “too niche” or “too genrebendy” for a traditional publisher to take a risk on are ones that we are happy to publish. Community investment is what makes this possible—readers are driving the kinds of stories that get created here. And community investment is also what makes us believe these stories will not be small at all. The run-up to this launch has been peppered by our books gracing dozens of “biggest and buzziest” and “best of fall” lists. We’re in second printings for several ahead of launch. Two authors have earned out their advances on subsidiary rights sales including audio for all titles, foreign editions in Germany, Italy, UK, Czech Republic, Russia, and Ukraine, subscription box buys, and film option interest. You will find Bindery Books in hundreds of independent bookstores and libraries, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart, with endorsements from heavy hitters like Rebecca Yarros, Rebecca Thorne, Melissa Albert, Emily Habeck, and TJ Klune. Behind the scenes, it’s been a whirlwind and the hardest and best work we’ve ever done. And we’re just getting started. If you would like to support us and the incredible authors we’re publishing this season, please pick up a copy at your favorite bookstore—and if they aren’t carrying it already, ask them to! Know that by supporting Bindery you are making a real contribution to change. --Matt Kaye and Meghan Harvey, cofounders

I’m excited to introduce Secludy and share that we've raised an oversubscribed pre-seed round led by 43 and with participation from Script Capital, Precursor Ventures, Hustle Fund, Karman Ventures and some really amazing angel investors! What we’re building at Secludy: Legacy data masking techniques don’t work in this new world of AI. They are ineffective and cannot provide protection for sensitive contextual information that can be used to re-identify someone. The chances of sensitive data being leaked are too high and many companies aren’t comfortable releasing AI features as a result. Secludy is privacy-guaranteed AI training made easy. We use advanced privacy technology to generate synthetic datasets that mimic your original dataset so that you can train your AI models on your most valuable data – without risks of leaking PII. We’re a team of builders with expertise in privacy, infosec, and machine learning. I am so grateful to have an amazing co-founder by my side Mingze He,Ph.D. We’re hiring for a full stack founding engineer. DM me or Mingze if you’re interested in learning more. If you’re an AI lead running into friction with legal/compliance teams or CISO/CIO/CPO looking to learn how you can have peace of mind that your LLMs aren’t leaking sensitive data, send me a DM or checkout secludy.com
