about the project

“
ToWave ” is an online publication about digital communications, a start-up industry and Internet opportunities for business. What is for you, as for the reader, useful on the resource?
Daily news. We publish not just the news of the Internet industry, we try to select the most interesting, global and relevant. Of course, most of the news relates to the Western market, but it is there that significant global events take place. Especially the startup industry news.
Now we are doing a slow but sure increase in the amount of news on the domestic market.
We release news in podcasts. For the day on the site there are news, and from them we make a podcast recording. The podcast comes out every day on weekdays. Yes, this is not a typo, 5 times a week.
We did not have time to read the news of the industry in a day - listen to the podcast and learn the main events in 5-6 minutes. Podcasts are recorded in the studio, in good quality.
We publish interviews with representatives of online businesses. For example, we were interviewed by
Martin Lumbi , co-owner of the tourist metasearch Momondo.com or, for example,
Dmitry Stavisky , vice president of international development for Evernote.
We translate and publish infographics. Predominantly western, also slowly do our own, but so far in small volumes.
We publish interesting articles. Pro social media, internet marketing, projects and internet business. We carefully select materials and try to ensure that every article has practical benefits.
We make reports. These are mainly conferences and forums. We try not to give general information about everything that was at the event, but more complete information about what we thought was most interesting.
For example, the full performance of
Aleksey Basov , Director of Advertising Services at Mail.ru Group, about the assessment of the market, competitors and what awaits the company in the development process. Or full performance of
Arkady Moreynis about the product, customers and building a business.
We are led by experts from the Internet market. For example,
Renata Akhunova , the first Russian in the list of female venture investors and business angels, published by Forbes.com. Or
Alexey Ailarov , CEO of Zingaya. Or
Tatyana Ananyeva , who was three times included in the rating of the Association of Managers and Kommersant Publishing House “The best commercial and marketing directors of Russia”.
