"Yes, taking over TNW is a heavy inheritance, especially with all eyes on us and expectations sky-high. And I'll admit, doubts crept in: Am I too small for this? Could someone more experienced do it better? Probably. But here I am, stepping up regardless. Because this isn't just another blog or brand; TNW is a living ecosystem, a vital community. Its story deserves to continue, and I'm determined to help write the next chapter."
"Not long ago, like many of you, I read what I feared might be The Next Web's final article. In late September, TNW's co-founder announced that the tech conference and news site would be winding down, no more events, no new stories. It felt like the end of an era; the news hit hard. Yet, just a few weeks ago, a twist arrived: the tech platform Tekpon acquired 100% of TNW's media and events brand from the Financial Times,"
TNW announced plans to wind down its tech conference and news site, prompting widespread concern. Tekpon then acquired 100% of TNW's media and events brand from the Financial Times, preserving the nearly two-decade legacy. A former editor reflected on TNW's deep personal impact, and a new leader confronted assumptions that an ended chapter means total closure. The new leader acknowledged heavy expectations and personal doubts but chose to step up to preserve TNW as a living ecosystem and vital community. The leader's background includes thousands of articles across diverse topics, an early content role at 18, and reaching the MasterChef semifinals, now using storytelling to help businesses.
