Introducing TNW Council

The Next Web is opening applications for TNW Council, a private membership for founders and executives leading technology companies.

Membership is limited to 1,000 people globally, each selected through application and review.

Members publish under their own name on The Next Web, with a full profile and a TNW Council byline. Topics are agreed with our team, and every piece is published to TNW’s standards.

Alongside publishing, members receive a verified executive profile, a Council badge, invitations to private gatherings and closed sessions, and access to a network of founders and senior operators.

“The people building technology have never had more to say, and never had fewer credible places to say it. Most platforms reward volume. We have spent twenty years being read by the people who decide what gets funded and what gets built, and we are opening that to a small group who have earned the right to be heard there.”

Alexandru Stan, CEO at The Next Web

Council articles are published under the member’s name and carry a Council byline. Editorial coverage on The Next Web is decided independently by the newsroom and is not part of membership.

Membership is annual and paid. It is open to founders and executives at technology companies with a minimum of €1M in annual revenue, in a decision-making role. Applications are reviewed by an internal committee.

Applications are now open here.
