@JohnThomey
After working in politics and tech, I founded UrbanTech last summer because I felt something was missing from the conversation around cities and tech. To me, it seemed like there needed to be a place on the internet dedicated to how tech and cities are intersecting more by the day -- so I built Urban Tech as a substack newsletter to try and fill the gap. After 75 editions on Substack, launching a podcast, and interviewing leaders at companies like Zillow, Tusk Ventures, Waze, Flexport, and LIme, I came to realize there was room to grow what we started with a free newsletter to be something bigger -- so I decided to put my grad school education at USC on hold and go all-in on a new vision for UrbanTech. We think the intersection of cities and tech will be the center of tech's biggest happening, so we are building a community dedicated to people interested in how tech is impacting our cities more by the day. Please help us build a place on the internet dedicated to this growing sector!!

Been a subscriber to the newsletter for some time now. I really appreciate the time and effort @johnthomey puts into it. Especially when it feels like there are a million newsletters and digests to subscribe to, this one feels worth it.

@natesmoyer Thanks for being an early subscriber and proving that there needs to be a place on the internet for people interested in cities and tech!
