Our take
The Hustle is a daily newsletter providing business news and insights. It does so by breaking down big stories with wit and clarity - no jargon, no fuss. It's making such an impact that in 2021, HubSpot (the marketing and CRM giant) snapped it up.
With over a million subscribers, The Hustle is seeing the success of its approach. It makes money through ads, sponsorships, and a paid product called Trends too, which dives deeper into big ideas and future market shifts.
And it works because it's built for busy people looking to stay informed without being bored to death. Now, as business media keeps evolving, The Hustle is growing even more, especially with HubSpot's backing and its expanding audience of hungry readers.
