Stratechery is a technology analysis publication written by Ben Thompson. It covers the day’s tech news and strategy, with interviews of company leaders, founders and analysts.
Format and cadence
In a September 2022 announcement, the publication described a free set of Stratechery Articles published about every two weeks and a paid subscription, Stratechery Plus, with updates delivered as three weekly emails or podcasts, interviews, and podcasts such as Sharp Tech and Dithering. The announced price was 12 dollars a month or 120 dollars a year. Formats and prices may have changed since.
Why it matters to founders
Stratechery is often cited as an early example of an independent, paid analysis publication that grew without advertising. It is a useful model for a writer who wants to sell insight directly to readers. See Positioning and Newsletter growth.
