Executives in large companies often struggle to stay updated on both internal operations and external developments due to the overwhelming volume of information available. Generic news aggregators or internal reports rarely provide the concise, actionable insights they need, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

The Solution: Personalized Executive Updates

One way to address this challenge is by offering a service that delivers tailored email updates to executives based on their roles, industries, and interests. Here’s how it could work:

• Onboarding: Executives or their companies specify preferences, such as topics of interest, competitors to monitor, and update frequency.
• Content Curation: A mix of automated tools and human analysts gathers and synthesizes data from internal reports, news, regulatory filings, and competitor announcements.
• Delivery: Executives receive concise, structured emails highlighting key developments and actionable insights at their preferred cadence (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Feedback Loop: Users can request adjustments or additional topics, refining the service over time.

Potential beneficiaries include C-suite executives, senior managers, and companies of varying sizes—especially those without dedicated research teams.

Why This Could Work

Unlike existing solutions, this approach combines automation with human expertise to deliver highly personalized updates. For example:

• Google Alerts lacks personalization and context.
• LinkedIn Pulse offers generic news without strategic insights.
• In-house briefing teams are costly and unscalable for smaller firms.

Monetization could involve subscription tiers (e.g., $500/month for basic, $2,000/month for premium), add-on reports, or enterprise licensing.

Getting Started

A simple MVP could involve manually curating updates for a small group of executives in a single industry (e.g., tech). Feedback would help refine the format before introducing automation for scaling. Key assumptions—such as willingness to pay and content value—could be tested through free trials or interviews.

By addressing a clear pain point with a hybrid approach, this idea could save executives time while improving decision-making. Starting small and iterating based on feedback would be crucial for success.
