I'm intrigued 28 Mar 23

McDuling is a great hire. Well liked, well respected, knows how to run a team.

The big question remains on how much these journos will cost the business and how much will the subscription rate be? Who’s also heading up a sales team? Eisman is a growth guy but not necessarily a salesman – will Scire have ads?
