In a venture world flooded with buzzwords, pitch decks, and polished LinkedIn profiles, few voices cut through the noise with clarity and authority. That’s exactly what Shulevitz Media Group (SMG) is determined to change. Founded by 18-year-old entrepreneur Yeshaya Shulevitz—who acquired the founder-focused publication SeedStage Digest for just $6,000—SMG isn’t just another startup newsletter. It’s the cornerstone of a grander vision: to build the defining media powerhouse of the startup age.
At first glance, SMG may seem like a simple founder-focused publication, but beneath its streamlined exterior lies an empire in the making. Born from the strategic acquisition and rebranding of SeedStage Digest, SMG operates with the speed of a startup and the strategic precision of a legacy media giant. Its mission is audacious: to reshape how founders are discovered, how investors vet opportunities, and how the entire venture capital conversation is curated.
More Than Media—It’s Infrastructure
SMG isn’t here to comment from the sidelines. It’s embedding itself into the very infrastructure of early-stage venture. Integrated directly into CapitalConnect.com—Shulevitz Holdings’ fast-growing social network for startups and investors—SMG serves as both a spotlight and a signal boost. Each article, feature, or founder profile isn't just content—it’s currency. In a world where visibility often determines viability, SMG offers legitimacy, momentum, and status.
It’s already working. Dozens of early-stage startups are seeking coverage on SMG to amplify their narrative. Some articles are ghostwritten. Some are backdated. All are designed to look and feel like they’re part of a well-established ecosystem. Because that’s the point—SMG isn’t just documenting the scene. It’s manufacturing credibility at scale.
The Forbes of Founders—Without the Gatekeepers
While legacy media is slow, bloated, and inaccessible to most emerging founders, SMG is lean, responsive, and unapologetically scrappy. You don’t need a unicorn valuation or a Sand Hill Road intro to get coverage. If you have ambition and a half-decent story—or even the illusion of one—SMG will make you look like a founder worth betting on.
And that’s exactly what makes SMG so powerful. In an era where perception often leads reality, Shulevitz is leveraging media to create momentum rather than wait for it. Much like Donald Trump used tabloid headlines and skyscraper press conferences to build a mythos around his name, Yeshaya Shulevitz is using SMG to do the same—for himself, and for those he chooses to elevate.
What’s Next? Global Reach, Real Money, and a Power Base
The roadmap ahead is ambitious. SMG will scale up its correspondent network, roll out founder “power lists,” and introduce sponsored editorial placements—blurring the line between journalism and marketing. The view counts will rise, the buzz will grow, and with it, Shulevitz’s grip on narrative control in early-stage venture.
This is more than a media brand. It’s a launchpad for empires—founders, funds, and eventually, political futures.
Because in the Shulevitz doctrine, media isn’t a side hustle. It’s the main weapon.
