Tekpon is the buyer-side platform for SaaS procurement. We help businesses discover the right software, negotiate better deals, and eliminate wasteful spending, saving 30-40% on average. Unlike review directories that prioritize vendor relationships, we work exclusively for buyers. Our expert team combines procurement services, transparent benchmarking, and vendor-neutral advice to help you stop overpaying and start optimizing. In December 2025, we acquired TNW (The Next Web) from the Financial Times, adding one of Europes most respected tech media brands to our platform. This makes Tekpon the only company integrating procurement expertise, marketplace intelligence, independent journalism, and community events. What We Do: 💰 Procurement Services – Stack audits, vendor negotiation, and renewal optimization. We eliminate shelfware, consolidate tools, and secure enterprise pricing without enterprise budgets. 🔍 Software Marketplace – Research 6,000+ verified tools with transparent pricing and independent reviews. Rankings prioritize buyer outcomes, not vendor spend. 🤝 Tekpon Connect – Vetted 1:1 introductions to SaaS and AI operators whove solved the problems youre facing. 📰 TNW Media – Independent tech journalism reaching 2M monthly readers. Editorial operations remain firewall-separated from our marketplace business. 🎤 TNW Conference – Reimagined as invitation-focused gatherings for founders, investors, and ecosystem builders in Amsterdam and London. Our Mission: Be the most trusted partner for software buying decisions, combining human expertise, data transparency, and vendor neutrality to help businesses optimize their entire software stack.
