Stop Paying $500, $1,000, or More for Newsletters

If you work in consulting, finance, law, investing, or many other roles or industries, you may be paying for at least one newsletter. Maybe your organization covers it. Maybe it comes out of your own pocket. Either way, you've accepted that staying informed has a price, and that price doesn't need to be so high.

Let's talk about what you're actually spending, and whether you're getting what you're paying for.

The Deal: Expensive Industry Intelligence

The Deal is one of the most well-known paid intelligence services in M&A, private equity, restructuring, and corporate law. Used by investment bankers, attorneys, and PE professionals, it tracks deal flow, sector activity, bankruptcies, and financing transactions. It's useful and expensive. And The Deal is just one example

Across industries, premium newsletters and intelligence services have normalized eye-watering subscription prices:

• Grant's Interest Rate Observer — ~$1,025/year. A deeply respected macroeconomic and bond market publication. Essential reading for some fixed-income investors. But it's written for a broad professional audience, not tuned to your specific portfolio or thesis.
• Motley Fool Epic — ~$499/year. Stock picks and investing ideas packaged for a wide retail and institutional audience. You get a lot of content. How much of it actually applies to your investing style?

The pattern is the same across all of them: general audience, general framing, high price.

The Problems are Both Price But Also Lack of Personalization

These publications are built for everyone in your field, which means they're perfectly tailored for no one. You end up reading too much of the content to find too little value. It's not customized and personalized to your exact requests. Your investments. Your clients. Your sales pipeline. Your projects. Your interests.

That's not great value for your investments of time and money.

What AI Changes

Your Personal Brief doesn't cover your industry. It covers your slice of your industry. You define the sectors, the geographies, the deal types, the companies, and the themes you want tracked. Every morning, the AI scours fresh sources and surfaces exactly what fits your criteria—nothing else.

Think of it as having a research assistant who has already read everything and pulled out only what matters to you. No fluff, no filler, no stories about companies you've never heard of and never will.

The Math Is Simple

If you're paying $500–$1,000+ per year for a newsletter that's partially or mostly irrelevant to you, you're not just overpaying, you're also spending time every day filtering out the noise. Your Personal Brief replaces that with something custom targeted, current, and dramatically cheaper.
