An Update
Something I've debated for a while

Hey, Justin here! Welcome to Just Go Grind, a newsletter that shares the lessons, tactics, and stories of world-class founders!
Happy Tuesday!
I’m re-launching a paid subscription plan for Just Go Grind!
This is something I’ve thought about for months and I’ve finally decided is the route I want to go moving forward (After axing a past paid subscription in June).
Why a paid subscription? My thinking is that it better aligns reader and writer incentives. Instead of spending time constantly chasing advertisers, I’ll spend more time researching, writing, and making this the best entrepreneurship newsletter on the planet while finding other ways to offer you more value.
Free subscribers will still see select upcoming events I host in LA & SF in each newsletter edition and have access to occasional founder deep dives, but will not have full access to each edition of the newsletter or the full back catalog of editions.
Why should you upgrade to a paid subscription? In short, it’ll make you a better founder, operator, or investor. I spend 20-30+ hours researching and writing each founder deep dive and if you’re a long-time reader who has enjoyed my writing, it’s the best way to support my work! 60+ founder deep dives have been published so far, with many more to come.
A sampling of recent posts:
The Premium Subscription includes:
Premium subscriber-only editions
Access to the entire history of posts
Early access to select events
More goodies to come!
I’m also offering a VIP option, for now, which additionally includes a 1-hour consulting call with me and potentially more added over time.
So, what’s the cost?
The premium subscription is $15/month or $150/year and VIP is $1,000/year.
You can probably expense this (and easily use a templated email from ChatGPT to do so). Finding just one insight from the newsletter this year can pay for itself. You’re welcome to cancel anytime if you’re not satisfied.
This newsletter has grown to more than 23,000 subscribers since launching it a little less than two years ago and I’m so grateful for every one of you. Whether you subscribed today or you’ve been with me from the beginning, I appreciate you. I quit my job at a VC firm in May of 2023 to work on this full-time and it’s something I feel very fortunate to be able to do.
I want to make this paid subscription a no-brainer for you. So, if you have an idea (or two) for how to make this paid subscription amazing, please simply reply to this email and let me know!
If you’ve found value in this newsletter or even just want to support the work I’m doing, please consider becoming a paid subscriber, it’d mean the world to me. 🙏
Best,
Justin
