TechRaising was founded in 2011 to support local communities to create sustaining tech ecosystems. We aim to provide the space and support for individuals to gather, collaborate, build, promote, and gain momentum for their ideas. While TechRaisers build tech, many people who participate are not technical. It is the melding of diversity of experience, background, technical, non technical, online, in real life, opinions, and the open flow of knowledge and expertise that allows tech projects to flourish.
