Our Story
Built on Proven Success

Today, we are a collective of seasoned entrepreneurs and media professionals applying that proven experience to reinvent local media for the AI age. We have the networks, expertise, and vision to build media brands that matter.

Our Vision: A Global Platform with Local Purpose
Our vision is to build the definitive media platform for tech ecosystems worldwide. We are creating a media conglomerate where collective business value and social impact are inextricably linked, ensuring the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. This is more than a media company; it is a truly global platform that empowers and serves local tech communities.
This purpose is central to our identity. To formalise our commitment, a percentage of our management profits will support the Tech Cities Foundation, our non-profit dedicated to closing the digital divide and promoting diversity, opportunity, and inclusion within technology.
