Intelligence for better decisions
Venwise is more than a peer network, it’s a trusted resource where C-suite leaders can access information to help them make better decisions.
The integrity of the selection process is what sets us apart. We exclusively focus on senior company officers to ensure that discussions are relevant to leaders with significant responsibilities and broad decision making authority.
It starts with you. First, we learn about your leadership role, your company stage, your goals, and the challenges you face. Then, we curate leadership support that is personalized to you with direct introductions to Members who are relevant to you.
As a Member, you can search our Membership Directory, Trusted Partner Network and Talent Referral Network to quickly source advice and information to de-risk your decisions and save time.
Validate a strategy before you execute by connecting with a Member who has managed a similar situation.
Identify recommended service providers and ask for quick introductions.
Find and hire qualified talent endorsed by our network.
We are an information resource that will help you make better, faster, and more efficient decisions by leveraging the insights and experience of your peers.
From day one, Venwise helps you separate the signal from the noise and realize a real return on your Membership investment.
Finally closing a round of funding is significant validation for your company. However, the funding can come with competing interests. It’s not always feasible to discuss certain topics with your VCs, colleagues, or board. Their advice could be conflicted, or you may feel vulnerable to organizational dynamics when asking sensitive questions.
Venwise is your safe space to ask questions and get relevant, unbiased, and independent advice. We maintain a strict code of conduct for all Members so discussions stay confidential.
Our value is rooted in the collective wisdom and experience of our Members. We facilitate the exchange of knowledge through virtual and in-person discussions and bring in outside experts to delve deeper into topics of shared interest.
Our goal is to not only inform you about emerging industry trends, but also to empower you with actionable insights that help you grow.
