What Is The Lynx List?

A premium extension of the Substack Early Stage NYC newsletter, The Lynx List is a private weekly digest led by Andrew Chang. It features top early-stage startups based in or tightly connected to New York City—showcasing founders who are actively raising a round. Every profile includes a video interview and a crisp memo-style write-up.

Why It Matters

For founders, it’s rare to land a free, high-quality produced video pitch and a direct line to NYC’s investor community—no strings attached. Applications don’t impact equity, and this spotlight can seriously boost fundraising visibility.

Who They’re Looking For

• Startups based in or strongly tied to NYC
• Currently raising or launching a round in the next 2–4 weeks
• At MVP stage or showing early traction (revenue, user base, pilots)
• Founders able to record an in-person video pitch with Andrew Chang lynxcollective.com

How to Apply

1. Complete the Lynx List application form on the Lynx Collective site
2. If selected, schedule a video chat, then a recorded pitch session
3. Sit back as you’re featured in an upcoming issue—no cost, no equity.

🧭 Pro Tips

• Be thoughtful and sharp in your application—it’s selective.
• Your pitch should communicate traction and fund readiness.
• Take advantage of the produced video, which can be repurposed on your own channels.

Bottom line: The Lynx List is a valuable, no-cost opportunity for early-stage NYC founders to pitch directly to investors via a refined video spotlight—though competition is tight. Applicants should move fast and craft a polished pitch.
