What changed when I stopped sending newsletters manually
Before I used Mailchimp, my monthly newsletter was one of those tasks I kept postponing. Not because it was complicated. Because it was annoying. I was running a small business, which meant the newsletter was always competing with more urgent things. Customer messages, fulfilment, invoices, product updates, random admin.

Indonesia’s D2C and inventory-heavy startup sector looks different in 2026 than it did before 2022.

China's humanoids go job hunting amid Korea's bets on physical AI
Chinese humanoid robot makers are accelerating efforts to gain a foothold in Korea, moving beyond dance performances and showroom displays to factory trials and other commercial applications as Seoul beefs up investment in physical artificial intelligence (AI). A string of Chinese robotics companies have flexed their muscles or announced projects in the country this year, including Hong Kong-listed Ubtech, startup Anyverse Dynamics, Shanghai-based Agibot and leading robot maker Unitree. “China’s new generation of robot companies has global DNA and naturally looks overseas, and Korea is one of the most important markets in Asia-Pacific,” said Ethan Qi, an associate director covering robotics at Counterpoint Research. The absence of locally built humanoids available at scale has created an opening for Chinese suppliers, he added. Early footprint Representatives of Galaxy Robot Park, a robot-themed entertainment venue in Seoul, agreed to buy Ubtech’s lifelike U1 model after attending its debut in Shenzhen in June, according to Sean Qin, overseas head of the company's commercial robo
