Hot take
Workweek positions itself as a next-gen media company and network for business professionals, blending creator-led content with industry-specific communities. Their model elevates expert personalities through engaging newsletters, podcasts, and digital events, boasting over 500,000 subscribers and a hefty $22M+ raised to fuel expansion. Unlike reliance on third-party platforms, Workweek builds its own closed community infrastructure, offering both free and premium memberships with access to private discussions, research, and virtual events. While this walled-garden approach gives them control and the potential for high-value connections, it can also make the platform feel exclusive or costly—premium subscriptions range from $300 to a steep $1,500 a year. The bet on trusted voices and niche communities works well for professionals seeking curated insight, but some independent creators may find the high barriers and data ownership policies less appealing.
