💸Should You Pay? A Note on Subscriptions

A One-Time Sales Pitch for the Discerning Consumer


tldr; Yes, please.

If you’re a general reader curious about the latest commercial developments in neurotech, there’ll be plenty for you at no cost.

For about $5 a week, you’ll get a lot more.

The paid subscription covers markets, tech, and strategy in more depth. It’s designed for business leaders at neurotech startups, investors, consultants, and brain/neuro innovators of all stripes.

It’s also a great resource for job seekers, students, academics looking at industry, and all other neurotech aficionados keen on understanding business trends.

Does that sound like you? Want to make a modest, reasonable, affordable investment in neurotech industry knowledge, while contributing to my reckless coffee habit and writerly dreams?

Read on, because this is a great deal.


"I HATE paying for newsletters. But I love paying for yours.”

^^ that is ACTUALLY what an investor and paying subscriber told me at JP Morgan’s 2025 healthcare conference. Just saying…


If you work in/around neurotech, subscribing to NTF amounts to a fractional cost of any SME, consultant or contract analyst you can find. As paid subscriber you’ll get various benefits, including:

  1. Neurotech Insider: An Exclusive Monthly Newsletter with market data & analysis, expert POV, and exclusive offers for founders, investors, and leaders of all stages & ages.

  2. Archive: Access to all 2024 Notables, part of 31 gated articles from ‘24

  3. Access: Reach me on Substack chat or email. I’ll try to reply in ~48 hours

  4. Discounts: Steeply slashed pricing on published reports & resources

Additional benefits will still include full access to all original articles I publish here, including deep-dive teardowns and other longform content & analysis, the biweekly Notables, my Forbes column, and whatever I’m able to conjure up in collaboration with sponsors, including live events, limited opportunities, unique resources, and more.
