SVTR (Silicon Valley Technology Review) is an independent, founder–investor–driven newsletter focused on the intersection of AI, venture capital, and global tech ecosystems.

Based in Silicon Valley and looking toward both the US and China, we track how AI infrastructure, models and applications are actually turning into products, companies, and returns — beyond the headlines and buzzwords.

Subscribing gives you full access to weekly briefings, deep dives, and event recaps, plus the full publication archives.
