HELP US MAKE WAVES.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY
WHAT ABOUT OTHER COMMUNITIES?
Our members are often part of other communities - and we're all for it! Here is how members frame participation in some of the most commonly overlapping communities...
“I’m actually a member of both Pavilion and Wednesday Women, because they compliment each other really well. I get structured learning, the opportunity to mentor younger members, and great GTM-specific resources with my Pavilion membership. Whereas WW is industry-agnostic and gets me out of that GTM bubble and provides a safe space and genuine conversations with women I know are facing the same challenges I am. Plus, since Pavilion is pretty large, I get a sense of intimacy with WW that is really meaningful.”
“There are a few WW members who are or used to be members of Chief, and it definitely has its perks (those clubhouses - WOW.) WW is pretty different from Chief, for a few reasons. First, I think the Chief experience is somewhat less personalized and more transactional because of their massive growth (with 20k members!), whereas the WW vibe is more curated and focused. I’ve also noticed that WW really wants to support and celebrate women behind the titles in a smaller, more personal way. The personal intros members make and the enthusiasm for uplifting one another makes the whole experience truly fulfilling.”

Do you offer tiered membership?
No, and that’s intentional. Wednesday Women is designed as a fully curated experience, where every element of membership works together to create value: from 1:1 intros and expert-led sessions, to visibility opportunities and private founder access. We believe that dividing the experience into tiers would dilute what makes it powerful: a sense of shared access, trust, and mutual investment. Every member contributes to and benefits from the full experience.
How much does membership cost?
An annual membership is $1,100 (which comes out to less than $100 a month). Memberships are paid annually or quarterly.
Can my company pay for my membership?
An annual membership is $1,100 (which comes out to less than $100 a month). Memberships are paid annually or quarterly.

Wednesday Women Executive Membership has community guidelines that all members must adhere to. During the application process, members are asked to agree with the following 4 core principles:
-
Executive experience: “I currently or previously have held a VP+ level role or equivalent.” (We encourage women to apply, even if they’re not sure.)
-
Abundance mindset: “I’ll celebrate others loudly and will take introductions as well as make them.”
-
No solicitation: “I will not solicit or sell to members - except at designated opportunities to do so. ”
-
Safe space: “I will foster conversations and spaces where women can bring their true selves and agree to keep member information private.”
Other Key Guidelines:
-
✌️ Speak kindly: We welcome divergent and difficult conversations, even about controversial issues. However, we do not allow insults, condescension, hate speech or any other demeaning behavior.

👐 Come with a giving mindset, but don't be afraid to ask for help: We are all here to connect with peers and uplift each other. We all also have needs/hurdles/challenges and you should not be shy to ask for something from the membership. Just remember that what you give will return to you 10x.
-
🚫 There are no "-isms" allowed here: When we say no bullying, sexism, racism, or any other nasty type of ‘ism’, we mean it. We want everyone here to feel welcome and to appreciate and respect the different experiences we all bring to the Membership.
-
🔏 Privacy Please: The ask for privacy in our principles extends to virtual and in-person events, 1:1 meetups, and any member communication on or off the platform.
