Introducing Pulse: The World’s Best News Reader

Every day, thousands of articles, posts, podcasts, tweets, and videos are published about SaaS, AI, venture capital, product, growth, and leadership. Somewhere in that flood are insights that could materially change how you think, decide, or act. But finding them has become a full-time job in itself.

Most of us cope by skimming headlines, doom-scrolling feeds, opening 17 tabs, and saving articles we never come back to. The result isn’t clarity. It’s cognitive overload.

That’s the problem we set out to solve with Pulse.

Today, I’m excited to officially announce Pulse, a new kind of news reader designed specifically for builders—founders, operators, and professionals who want signal, not noise.

You can explore it now at Pulse.

Why We Built Pulse

At SaasRise, we spend our time with some of the best operators in the world—people running $1M to $100M+ ARR businesses. A consistent theme comes up in our conversations:

“I know the information I need is out there. I just don’t have time to sift through everything to find it.”

Traditional news sites optimize for clicks. Social platforms optimize for engagement. Neither is designed for decision-makers who want to learn quickly, think clearly, and move forward.

Email newsletters help, but most are:

• Too broad
• Too opinionated
• Too long
• Or too tied to a single voice

RSS readers exist, but they require constant manual curation and maintenance. Twitter/X and LinkedIn surface interesting ideas, but they’re mixed in with outrage, memes, and distractions.

We wanted something different.

Pulse is built around one simple idea:
High-quality information should come to you already filtered, summarized, and organized—every day.

What Is Pulse?

Pulse is a daily news reader that curates, ranks, and summarizes the best content on the internet across specific topics.

Instead of scrolling endlessly or checking dozens of sites, you open Pulse and immediately see what matters most—right now—within the topics you care about.

Each Pulse feed is focused on a single domain, such as:

• SaaS
• AI
• Venture Capital
• Cybersecurity
• Cloud Infrastructure
• Product & Growth
• And eventually, hundreds (then thousands) more

Every item in a feed comes from a real human creator or publisher—blog posts, long-form essays, social posts, videos, or news articles. Pulse uses AI to:

• Identify the best content
• Extract the core insight
• Summarize it clearly
• Rank it by relevance and quality

You get the essence in seconds, with the option to click through and read the full piece if you want.

This is why we often describe Pulse as a thinking tool, not just a news product.

You can see it in action at Pulse News Reader.

How Pulse Is Different From Traditional News

Pulse isn’t trying to be another media company. We don’t write original news articles. We don’t chase breaking headlines for the sake of traffic.

Instead, Pulse is a curation layer for the internet.

Here’s what that means in practice:

1. Topic-First

Traditional media sites organize content around their own brand. Pulse organizes content around your interests.

If you care about SaaS pricing strategy, you shouldn’t need to remember which five blogs might write about it. Pulse finds the best thinking wherever it appears and brings it into one place.

2. AI Summaries

We believe your time is valuable.

Every Pulse item starts with a concise summary that captures the core insight. You can absorb the idea in seconds and decide whether it’s worth a deeper read.

This dramatically changes how you consume information—from passive scrolling to intentional learning.

3. Quality Signals

Social platforms amplify content that sparks reactions. Pulse amplifies content that delivers value.

The ranking algorithms prioritize:

• Depth
• Original thinking
• Practical relevance
• Consistent creator quality

Not outrage. Not hot takes for engagement.

4. Infinite Exploration Without Infinite Noise

Pulse supports infinite scrolling—but in a controlled, high-signal environment. As you scroll, the content doesn’t degrade. It simply gets broader, older, or more exploratory, while still staying within your chosen topic.

Pulse for SaaS Founders and Operators

If you’re building or scaling a SaaS company, Pulse becomes a daily strategic advantage.

Here’s how many early users are already using it:

• Morning scan (5–10 minutes): Get up to speed on what matters today in SaaS, AI, and growth.
• Deep dives: Click through on one or two items that spark real insight.
• Team alignment: Share links internally to anchor conversations around the same source material.
• Pattern recognition: Over time, notice which ideas keep repeating—and which are truly novel.

Instead of reacting to whatever happens to cross your feed, you’re building a curated mental model of your industry.

For many, Pulse replaces:

• Twitter/X as a “news source”
• Dozens of open browser tabs
• Half-read newsletters
• Random bookmarking tools

Built for the Long Term

Pulse is not a growth hack. It’s a long-term product vision.

The goal is simple but bold:
Create a daily ritual that helps people think and get relevant professional news more easily.

Over time, Pulse becomes less about “news” and more about orientation—helping you understand what’s changing, why it matters, and how to respond.

Why This Matters Now

We’re entering a phase where AI can generate infinite content.

That makes curation—not creation—the real bottleneck.

The winners won’t be the people who read the most. They’ll be the people who consistently read the right things.

Pulse is our answer to that reality.

It’s designed for people who:

• Build companies
• Lead teams
• Make high-leverage decisions
• Care about learning without drowning in information

If that sounds like you, I encourage you to try it.
