Our Readership

Over 60% of our audience are managers and above. These are key decision-makers and buyers for their companies. They include C-suite executives at major corporates, founders and operators at early and late-stage startups, and investors in both private (venture, growth capital) and public capital markets. There are also a large number of manager-level operators and technical staff at notable tech companies. The second major demographic is the earlier stage, ambitious young professionals in their mid-20s to early 30s. These are future leaders of their existing companies and founders of other companies.
