Becoming a Venwise Member
Our selection process ensures that we exclusively admit qualified candidates who will benefit from our curated Membership experience. The background of each applicant is carefully considered to maintain the quality of discourse within our community.

Chat with us
We will reach out to schedule a discovery call to learn more about your role, company and business challenges to determine if Venwise will benefit you.
03
Curate your experience
If you are eligible and join, we will place you in a Cohort of your peers and pair you with an Experience Manager who will curate your experience with programming that is uniquely relevant to your needs.
Curation is the product.
We don't admit first-come, first-served. A company's profile matters — stage, model, backing — but we care just as much about where the business is going and what its leaders are about to face. That's what determines who belongs in the room together.
And we don't place everyone right away. If the right seat doesn't exist yet, we wait until it does. Everything Venwise delivers depends on the fit of the people around the table — so we'd rather hold a seat open than force the wrong one.

Venwise Members experience career-changing moments
Yony Feng
"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."
Brian Murphy
“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.”
Gijo Mathew
"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."
Jennifer Fitzgerald
“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.”
Dan Chait
"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."
Jon Stein
"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."
Katherine Ryder
“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.”
