Jessica Lessin, a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal, founded The Information as a subscription-based news website marketed to technology-sector executives in December 2013.[5][6][7] She hired reporter Eric Newcomer as its first employee in 2014.[8] Lessin later formed an advisory board which included venture capitalist John Doerr, Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei, and ProPublica executive chairman Paul Steiger.[9]

Lessin has stated that she wants The Information to eventually reach the point where it is spending more than either The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times, and stated "Our ambition isn't to build a subscription business — our goal is to build the most impactful news organization for the next century".[10]

In February 2020, the company announced a partnership with Bloomberg Media, enabling customers to purchase a year-long joint bundle.[11] The Financial Times reported in November 2021 that the publication has 225,000 "users", a figure that includes subscribers and individuals who have signed up for newsletters.[12] As of 2022, the publication has 45,000 paid subscribers.[4]

In 2023, the publication launched a new subscription service for charts, proprietary data and, reader surveys. The service will be geared towards C-suite professionals.[13]

An Investor subscription includes private monthly conference calls and in-person briefings with the reporting team.[14][15]

In July 2022, it was reported that Lessin intends for The Information to launch a social networking service for subscribers, stating that platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn have grown too large to be able to curate strong connections.[12]
