Operated on a not-for-profit basis, Renewd is run by members, for members, with a shared mission of fostering growth, collaboration, and innovation.
About Renewd
Renewd is an open, free community dedicated to helping specialized subscription, membership, and event professionals succeed.
Why we’re called Renewd - our name reflects our core values and purpose:
1. A Focus on Renewable Business Models
We bring together professionals working in subscriptions, memberships, and events—industries built on sustainable, renewable revenue streams.
2. Born from a Need for Renewal
Founded during the 2020 pandemic, Renewd serves as a source of fresh ideas and inspiration, helping members adapt, grow, and thrive in changing times.
3. A New Approach to Community
At a time when traditional industry associations struggle to retain members, we offer a renewed model: an open, inclusive community where much of the programming is free and accessible to all.
Who We Are Today
Since our founding, we’ve grown to:
-
Over 3,000 free members across North America and the United Kingdom.
-
65+ premium member companies.
Our Premium Leader Membership is designed for media companies generating revenue from subscriptions, memberships, and events. Our Premium Partner Membership is tailored for suppliers, vendors, and consultants supporting these businesses.
