Scott McGovern
Founder of Growth Nuts. He built Green Rush Daily from nothing to a $7 million acquisition by High Times in nineteen months, almost entirely through organic search — then spent 2019 writing in Entrepreneur about exactly how it was done. Everything on this page links to a source you can check.
What actually happened
2016–2018
Founded Green Rush Daily
A cannabis media platform built on organic search. It reached 6.5 million monthly visitors without a paid acquisition budget.
April 2018
Acquired by High Times for $7 million
Nasdaq covered the deal at the time. Benzinga later reported the full timeline: nineteen months from launch to exit. Scott stayed on with High Times after the acquisition.
2018–2019
