Simplify Your Keto Diet, Turn CVs into Proposals, and Create Unique Characters — All with Powerful, Easy-to-Use Tools

Hello friends! 👋

Good afternoon! Chris and Daniel here with the latest edition of Startups.fyi — where we highlight some of the smartest tools, underrated startups, and innovative business models that are worth exploring. 

Before we start, a quick heads-up for U.S. readers: Thanksgiving is approaching (Nov 27). The following day is Black Friday, a key shopping and online activity day. Many people even take the day off work, even though it's not an official holiday. 

If you’re developing a product or planning a promotion, this is one of those rare moments when everyone’s attention is focused. Be sure to take advantage of it.

We’d love to hear from you—if there’s anything you'd like us to cover, just reach out on X and say hi! 👋🏾.
