Mondays are for feedback

What do you want to see and read from Technical.ly? How can we do a better job informing you about what’s happening in your tech economy, and in connecting you to other local technologists, entrepreneurs, company builders and the like? Have you interacted with the Technical.ly community more or less over the past year, and why?

 

Tell us in five minutes via the Technical.ly community survey to shape your local tech news site, and by extension, this very newsletter.

 

As a bonus for sharing your thoughts, we’ll pick a few people to get a signed copy of Guy Raz’s book “How I Built This” or $50 gift cards once we close the survey in a few weeks.
