Jeremy Berke, who left Business Insider in late 2022 to start the cannabis newsletter “Cultivated Daily,” is now selling a membership.
The price is $12.50 per month or $100 per year.
Berke said he would like to use the money to add more journalists.
“We will continue our free, ad-supported daily newsletter and subscribers will get at least one exclusive feature story, analysis, or investigation per week,” said Berke. “As we build capacity, we will add more. Along with discounts to our events and briefings with myself and our journalists.”
The daily newsletter reaches 8,000 policymakers, lawyers, operators, investors, and executives in the legal cannabis industry, and it maintains a 52% lifetime open rate. Cultivated started an events series last year with our partners at Gotham and the Midwest Cannabis Forum. Its next event, the Highrise, will be on Oct. 22 in New York.
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.
