in my interview?
Davos in the Desert interviews are professionally crafted discussions with dynamic CEOs. These beautifully designed interviews provide an unparalleled opportunity for readers to understand the subject companies.
Our analysts spend several hours researching the interviewee companies. We review the nomination forms, the companies’ websites and Internet search results relating to the companies and their respective industries. We closely read other materials companies send us. These materials include marketing collateral, business plans and financial projections.
Davos in the Desert interviews are great opportunities for CEOs to discuss their products and services as well as unique value drivers. Emerging Disrupters can shed light on their addressable markets, go-to-market strategies, growth strategies, product development pipelines, research initiatives, patent portfolios, management teams, business models, capital raising plans, exit strategies and more.
Who Will Read My Interview in The World’s Top 100 Emerging Disruptors?

Davos in the Desert will also send three emails to our list of roughly 140,000 investors (e.g., angel investors, venture capitalists, private equity managers, small cap fund managers) and corporate transactions professionals (e.g., joint-venture managers, licensing executives, acquisitions professionals).
But here’s what truly matters: it’s not just how many people read your interview—it’s who reads it and what it could mean for your company. Here are a few real-world ways our interviews have helped innovative companies grow and thrive:
