About

Spyglass is a collection of written works, thoughts, and analysis by M.G. Siegler, a long-time technology investor and writer. While the core focus is on the tech sector, a wide-range of topics will be explored. Perhaps the best way to frame the site is as a real-time notebook for what M.G. is reading and thinking about from a vantage point that's outside of Silicon Valley after so many years on the inside.

Operationally, Spyglass is three core products rolled into one:

  • a blog – thoughts on a wide-range of topics posted throughout the week
  • a columnmore in-depth writing posted and sent out via email
  • a newsletter – a dispatch sent around timely topics

To get full access to the column, you will need to be a member of the Spyglass paid tier, 'The Inner Ring'. The cost is $10/month or $100/year:

If you choose to sign up for the free tier, you'll be sent one weekly Spyglass column. This content will also be accessible via the website alongside the blog posts, free of charge.

You can follow along with everything on:

If you're interested in certain topics, those are segmented by #tags – and each has their own page as well as RSS feed. (For example, here's the feed for posts about Apple.)

One more thing:

If you really, truly want to receive every post – beyond just the column, all the blog posts – in your inbox, members can do so by clicking here and toggling on the 'Email Me Everything' slider. This is off by default as it will mean a lot of email in your inbox. And I already include links to such posts in the other emails. But I know some people prefer this method of delivery, so... enjoy?
