It’s Memorial Day here in the United States, which means that the flow of tech news is slower than normal. This might leave you feeling bereft, adrift without the usual 3,239 individual items that happen daily in startup land. But have no fear, for TechCrunch+ is here with a quick rewind of our work from May.

Consider this a roll call of some of our favorite journalism from the last few weeks, packaged in a simple format for your quick perusal and ingestion. To the lists!

• News you wished you had read 10 years ago: Haje has been a busy bee this month, writing about how to write the perfect cold email, how to hire early employees, how to get warm intros to investors (he’s hot then he’s cold, etc.), and even more on the warm intro front. We also have notes from a founder on how they bootstrapped to $40 million ARR and key metrics from an investor for cybersecurity product managers (cybersecurity is a topic Alex has been working on as well). Oh, and if you want to get your board meeting done in an hour, read this.
