It’s Technical.ly’s birthday, and you can help us celebrate! How? By supporting our work — with a donation or otherwise.

I’ve worked in a lot of newsrooms, and put simply, no one else does what we do.

Technical.ly's beat is very specific, and I knew that coming in. What I didn't realize before working here is how impactful it is. Tech skills and entrepreneurship opportunities are real, honest-to-goodness pathways to economic mobility for a very wide swath of America.

If we do our jobs right, more people benefit — and that’s where you come in. If you agree it’s important to keep reporting free and accessible, consider making a contribution to the Technical.ly Journalism Fund today.

Since our founding in 2009, Technical.ly's been one of the only media outlets telling stories about the people, ideas and innovations shaping local tech and startup ecosystems. We share tech stories the national media skips, spotlight local wins, highlight real opportunities and use our crossmarket reach to spotlight best practices for success. 

Any amount helps! Whether you make a $50 onetime gift or a $10/month recurring donation, your tax-deductible contribution doesn’t just keep our articles free — it lets us do better and deeper reporting in your ecosystem and region.

Will you join us?

Heads up: We know not everyone has capacity to make a monetary contribution. If that's not for you right now, consider supporting our work in these other ways:

• Attend our annual Builders Conference this May
• Use our advertising services
• Subscribe to one of our newsletters
• Follow us on social media: LinkedIn | IG 
• Join our community Slack 

Thanks for being part of the Technical.ly community. We couldn’t do this without you.
