Techweek, led by CEO Amanda Signorelli, is a conference and media company designed to support and connect local tech ecosystems across North America. With a contagious success philosophy, Techweek hosts weeklong conferences in eight cities to foster innovation and entrepreneurship.
The “Hero Companies” Strategy
A key component of Techweek’s mission is its focus on “hero companies”—high-growth businesses that:
Create sustainable impact
Incubate talent and ideas
Generate successful spinoffs
Techweek believes that the spinoff process—where employees of successful companies start their own ventures—is the most effective way to build thriving tech hubs.
Collaborative Approach in a Competitive Industry
Unlike many tech conferences that focus on competition, Techweek emphasizes collaboration between startups, investors, and tech leaders.
