Team: Our 26-person full time team includes alumni of TikTok, Business Insider, Morning Brew, and other top media brands.
Traction: We doubled our revenue from 2024 to 2025 and are looking to double revenue again in 2026. We are supported by advertisers who want to reach tech’s decision makers, including AWS, Google Cloud, Anthropic, Slack, Notion, and GitHub.
