We cover the people who run the things that move industries forward.
There is no shortage of business coverage. There is a shortage of business coverage that treats its readers as intelligent adults who already know the news and want to understand what it means.
Powered Magazine exists for the people who run things. Founders building companies from scratch. Operators scaling them through the awkward middle. Investors allocating capital in conditions that models were not designed for. Executives navigating organisations large enough to have their own weather systems. These people do not need another aggregator. They need reporting that keeps up with them.
We publish in New York. Our editorial standard is simple: every piece must tell a reader something they could not have gotten elsewhere, written by someone who did the work to get it. We do not publish press releases dressed as journalism. We do not publish access profiles that trade honesty for proximity. We do not publish frameworks invented by someone who has never run anything.
The Powered 500 Global — our annual editorial selection of five hundred leaders across key markets — is the largest project we produce each year. It is not an award. It is a record. Editorially selected, not applied for. The 2026 United States edition is live.
Published by Novo Media Inc. The magazine reaches 300,000 professionals across 65 countries.
Operator-first
We write for the people doing the work, not the people watching it. If a piece would not be useful to someone running a company or a team, it does not run.
Contrarian, carefully
A contrarian position without evidence is just noise. We challenge received wisdom when the reporting supports it. We do not challenge it for the sake of a headline.
Industry-agnostic
The capital allocation decisions reshaping private equity today will reshape healthcare in three years. We follow the logic, not the vertical.
Independent
Advertising-supported. Editorial selection is made by the editorial team and is not available for purchase. The commercial and editorial operations of this publication do not share decisions about specific coverage.
