Berke’s cannabis newsletter nearing 15,000 subscribers

Jeremy Berke, who left Business Insider in late 2022 to start his own daily newsletter, says “Cultivated Daily” is up to nearly 15,000 subscribers.

Berke just announced a strategic partnership with Grown In to increase the subscriber base.

“Right now, we are focused on growing the list as large as possible, so these are all free subscribers,” says Berke. “We are partnering with companies in the cannabis industry for native ads and sponsored content, focusing on a handful of big, long-term partnerships, and are completely bootstrapped so far.”

He also holds daily livestreams on LinkedIn and YouTube and is working on a rollout of an event series next year.

Berke previously lead Business Insider’s cannabis coverage. He has appeared on NBC, CNN, Fox News and others to discuss legalization.
