Email-first startups  

Ryan Hoover:

Email-first enables startups to:

  • Validate ideas quickly [...]
  • Fake it ‘til you make it [...]
  • Force focus [...]
  • Create habits [...]
  • Be ubiquitous [...]
  • Transfer to other mediums [...]

Very good points. Ryan goes on to point out several examples of email-first startups.

For what it's worth, GrantTree is currently paying £2k a month for a startup that still has no web page. They do have a daily email that is well worth the money, though. Do I care that they don't have a website? Nope. Would I pay any more if they did? Nope.
