Dear readers,

A year ago, we created BI Prime because we wanted to get past the PR and buzzwords, persuade inside sources to talk, and figure out what exactly is going on inside the companies you care about.

Fast-forward to today, and thousands of you are already reading BI Prime. And the number of Prime stories continues to increase as we head into 2019.

There have been big scoops about Goldman Sachs, interviews with the world's biggest investors, and inside stories about what's really going behind the scenes at buzzy Silicon Valley companies.

Here are nine of our most popular recent BI Prime stories:
