Jon Stein

Founder + Chairman, Betterment

"The immediate usefulness surprised me. I came in sceptical and walked away with a handful of learnings while thinking, wow, that was a great three hours; let’s do that again. Four years later, I continue to feel that way."

Jon Stein, Founder and Chairman of Betterment

Yony Feng

Co-Founder, Peloton

"Last year our engineering team experienced 100% growth and needed to be restructured. My Venwise Pod helped me adjust my strategy to better align with our annual goals and has had a direct impact on the organizational structure of Peloton."

Yony Feng, Co-Founder at Peloton

Jennifer Fitzgerald

Co-Founder + CEO, Policygenius

“I've been a Venwise Member for years and recommend it to every leader I meet. There is no better sounding board than a group of your peers who are dealing with similar business issues. It's also a bit of group therapy, and what CEO couldn't use a little of that in their life? I feel comforted knowing that I have an experienced group of peers to turn to when I need support.”

Jennifer Fitzgerald, Co-Founder and CEO of Policygenius

Gijo Mathew

Chief Product Officer, VTS

"My time spent with Venwise peers helps me think through my most challenging problems in a dedicated safe space. I am able to learn from trusted and experienced peers with a diverse set of perspectives while I strategize my best path forward. I am a better decision-maker and leader as a result of my experience at Venwise."

Gijo Mathew, Chief Product Officer of VTS

Brian Murphy

CTO, SeatGeek

The moderated roundtable conversations feel like a cheat code — my pod provides a psychologically safe environment with a curated set of leaders who are able to really lean on each other through the ups and downs of startup life. Two companies and several years in, it's easily one of the highest-leverage ways I spend my time each month.”

Brian Murphy, CTO of SeatGeek

Dan Chait

Co-Founder + CEO, Greenhouse

"Venwise has become a very important resource as we scale our company. My Executive Pod and the wider Membership have been instrumental in our journey and has made the job of being CEO less lonely. The curation of the Membership experience is the defining factor for Venwise - the opportunity to get connected to the smartest leaders with just the right experience and insight is priceless."

Dan Chait, Co-Founder + CEO of Greenhouse

Katherine Ryder

CEO, Maven Clinic

“In the very first meeting, I was having real conversations about critical business issues, with a small and highly curated group of peers who understood the pressure of being the CEO of a VC-backed business.

Every month, I get something out of my time: whether it's advice on a strategic business issue, a referral for a key hire, or useful context on an issue we're facing. The ROI is real.”

Katherine Ryder, CEO of Maven Clinic
