Ankler Media is an American digital media company owned by the Ankler Media Group. It has three main business areas: email newsletters, podcasts, and live events.[1][2] In 2021, its flagship newsletter, The Ankler, was listed as one of the top three business publications on Substack.[3][4]
In February 2017, Richard Rushfield[5] founded The Ankler as a paid subscription publication about the entertainment industry, which he then moved to the Substack platform two years later.[2][6]
In January 2022, Janice Min officially joined the company to form Ankler Media, which expanded the initial newsletter into several newsletters, podcasts, and live events.[7] Min joined as co-owner and CEO, with Richard Rushfield taking the role of editorial director.[8][9][10]
According to The New York Times, "A focus of Ankler Media’s coverage will be the clashes between the tech executives now making big decisions in Hollywood and the ones who have been around since moviegoers waited in line to buy tickets."[11]
In June 2022, the company raised $1.5 million at a $20 million valuation through Y Combinator.[12][13][14]
