Issue 01 · In production

The WINgate Journal is being written now — with its first members.

We are not reprinting an archive. Issue 01 is in editorial production: interviews are being recorded, founders are being profiled, and the market briefs are being sourced from inside the ecosystem. There is no back catalogue — by design.

What Issue 01 will hold

Four standing sections. Open each to see what we are commissioning.

  • One long-form portrait per issue — a woman founder or executive whose work deserves the room, told with the depth of an international business title, not a listicle.

  • Candid conversations with founders, investors and operators about funding pathways, negotiation, and the discipline of growth across the EU and GCC.

  • What actually happens in the small rooms: accountability, intelligence-sharing and the collaborations that turn into signed work.

  • Short, practical briefings on markets, funding calls, partnership routes and expansion mechanics — written to be used, not admired.

Contributors wanted

Issue 01 is still open.

If you are a founder, executive or expert with a story that would help another woman move faster — a market you cracked, a raise you closed, a structure you built — tell us. Selected contributors are interviewed and featured in the first issue.
