DailyCandy was an online media company founded in 2000 by Dany Levy. The business originally consisted of a daily email newsletter that provided readers with information about hip and trendy events and businesses in their city. The emails first focused on New York City but eventually grew to include a dozen US cities and London. In August 2008, Comcast purchased the e-newsletter for $125 million and ultimately shut it down in 2014.
DailyCandy was a pioneer in terms of using the Internet as a distribution channel and in creating an email newsletter business.[1] It inspired a number of similar email businesses including, Thrillist[2] and Tasting Table.[3]
