Best Startup Telegram Channels – July 2026
Looking for the pulse of the startup world on Telegram? Here are 12 channels I follow, covering everything from founder insights to VC deals. Expect a healthy dose of Durov. (12 channels, category: startups)
The List
Paul Durov
It's Durov. Need I say more? This is Pavel's personal channel, and it's… interesting. Mostly philosophical musings and occasional glimpses into his worldview. 12.1M subscribers suggest people are curious, even if it's not strictly 'startup advice'. I follow it for the sheer spectacle.
Lean
Another Durov project. This one focuses on building and scaling things efficiently. Expect a lot of talk about metrics, growth hacking, and generally doing more with less. It's a bit promotional for Durov's ventures, naturally, but still has useful insights. 12.1M subscribers, so it's hitting a nerve.
Feed
Yet *another* Durov channel. This one is a curated news feed, with a focus on tech and business. It's a good way to stay up-to-date on what's happening, but it's heavily filtered through Durov's perspective. 12.1M subscribers – he's building an ecosystem, not just a following.
Rove
You guessed it, Durov again. Rove is about travel, but with a tech/startup bent. Think remote work, digital nomadism, and the future of location independence. It's a bit aspirational, but a fun read. 12.1M subscribers – the man has range.
Snow
Okay, I'm starting to feel like I'm just listing Durov's channels. Snow is… harder to define. It's a mix of art, tech, and culture, with a focus on visual content. It's a bit of a vibe check, honestly. 12.1M subscribers – apparently, a lot of people like the vibe.
Pavel Durov
This is *another* Pavel Durov channel. Yes, really. It's a slightly different take on his personal thoughts and observations than the 'paul' channel. Redundancy is a feature, not a bug, apparently. 11.9M subscribers – the man is a Telegram power user.
Sergei Sergienko
Finally, someone who isn't Pavel Durov! Sergei Sergienko shares insights on building and scaling SaaS businesses. It's practical, data-driven, and generally very useful. 3.7M subscribers – a solid following for a non-Durov channel.
Meta Silense TON
Focused on the TON blockchain and its ecosystem. If you're into crypto startups, this is a good place to stay informed. Expect a lot of technical details and updates on new projects. 3.4M subscribers – the TON community is strong.
V3V Ventures lounge
From V3V Ventures, this channel shares insights into the venture capital world. Expect deal announcements, market analysis, and thoughts on the future of startups. 3.0M subscribers – a good resource for founders looking for funding.
Venture Capital
A more general VC channel, covering a wide range of industries and investment stages. It's a good place to get a broad overview of the venture capital landscape. 2.7M subscribers – a popular choice for those interested in the business of startups.
