According to Ben (the author and proprietor of Stratechery) every major influential VC firm and/or head subscribes. He once remarked that something to the effect of there's no major VC that isn't subscribed, I deliver email to their inboxes daily. I do think he's also quite popular with many big time CEOs (Mark Zuckerburg being a confirmed subscriber for one. Who knows who reads what though). I'm not sure if that means anything though, to be quite honest. That said, I think its really the business of technology, and that could make this useful, but for ICs or those on a more technical path that don't plan on owning a business? That is less direct. All of this is to say, I think the more one understands the systems at play in which they live and work, the better they are at making informed decisions, especially about where to work. I left a job a few years ago for another one at a company that was working in the space that publications like this were talking about - but the market itself hadn't seen as high growing fields yet - and having that ahead of time analysis lead me to believe it would be lucrative for me to switch companies, and that really did work out for me. |

To play the devils advocate - its important for leaders to know how their companies/efforts are generally perceived - whether or not the analysis itself is accurate is immaterial.
Secondly, the newsletter may simply be a way to learn about recent events. These folk have in-house analysts with possibly better quality data
