HackerNoon's a small team of editors, software developers, and startup people working to publish the best technology stories and build the best publishing software. Our entirely free library is 100k+ stories about #programming, #startups, #cryptocurrency, #ai, #javascript, #bitcoin, #web-development, #entrepreneurship, and everything else #technology. Our flagship product is the content management system that powers HackerNoon.com. It's built for technologists to read, write, learn, and publish. All for free - no paywalls, no popups, no needless pixels - just quality technology stories. Some of the other applications we've built are the Noonies Voting Software, Slogging (Slack Blogging App), and The Free Internet Plugin. We’ve served 1k+ tech companies as customers, published over 50k+ curious and insightful contributing writers, raised $2.9M from 1.3k+ awesome shareholders, including FlyerOne Ventures, Monday Capital, Garry Tan, Alexis Ohanian, Stefan Moon, Claudio Cherubino, and Forward Research. Since launch, 300M+ humans have visited HackerNoon to learn about technology. In my spare time, I enjoy walking, basketball, skiing, and doing literally anything with my kids.
