A monthly note
The Fundermental
One short letter a month, written by a person, on how the funding landscape is shifting. Read in an unhurried ten minutes, kept free of hype.
LOAM's funder pack tells you where things stand. The Fundermental tells you what is moving — the changes in language, the new calls, the strategy turns, and the early signals that rarely arrive as announcements.
It is read and written by hand, from public sources only. No tracking pixels, no forwarding of your details, nothing about you that I do not need in order to send you a letter.
The briefing is entirely separate from LOAM itself. Everything in the app stays free, and nothing in it is ever held back for subscribers.
What arrives
Language that moved
Where a funder quietly changed the words it uses, and what that tends to signal next.
New calls and closings
What opened this month, what is closing soon, and which ones are worth your energy.
Strategy shifts
New strategies, leadership changes and reorganisations that alter who decides.
Early signals
The quieter notes — board minutes, annual reports, conference talks — read for you.
