By charging hundreds of dollars annually for exclusive Silicon Valley scoops since 2013, Lessin built The Information into a premium subscription model that proved specialized readers will pay for quality — reshaping how digital media thinks about monetization.
Jessica Lessin is the founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of The Information, the subscription technology publication she launched in 2013.
Before that she covered Silicon Valley for The Wall Street Journal. The Information charges hundreds of dollars per year for exclusive reporting on major technology companies and the startup ecosystem, and has expanded into conferences, a subscriber club, and an international editorial operation.
