The 8 Best Marker Stories of 2019

Here, the stories that we were most proud to publish this year

For the roughly four months since we launched, Marker’s team has been focused on making you smarter about business, and better at it, too. We’ve published lots of great guides and columns that dive into the nuts and bolts of how to start, grow, and run a company, and we’ve heard how much you enjoy and appreciate the insights that founders, VCs, executives, and others have shared on our pages.

We also believe that narrative journalism — storytelling — is a powerful tool that doesn’t just entertain, but also lets us learn and develop mental models that we can apply to our own lives, careers, companies, etc., to help us navigate them better. So that’s what we’ve assembled here: a group of our finest stories, great reads that will also make you think. We hope you have some time to enjoy and learn from them this holiday season.
