The NextWeb

The Next Web (TNW) is a verified, high-profile technology media and events brand established in 2006. While the submission itself is of extremely low quality—featuring hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product' and lacking specific data—independent verification confirms the entity's significant historical market presence, including a past acquisition by the Financial Times and a recent (Dec 2025) sale to Tekpon following a period of instability. The score reflects the substantial verified legacy and reach of the platform (millions of historical visitors, major conference), heavily penalized by the unprofessional submission and the current 'turnaround' status of the business.
