Werd I/O

Description

Writing at the intersection of technology, journalism, and community. | I'm a technology leader, founder, and investor who builds teams and products for organizations that want to make the world more informed and equal. I've spent over twenty years doing this across journalism, media, fintech, and open source, as a CTO, a CEO, and a venture investor. I've built platforms used by governments, universities, Fortune 500 companies, and social movements. I've led small, scrappy technology teams, and bigger, venture-scale teams. Across everything I've done, the through-line has been my belief that technology should serve communities rather than extract from them. I built Elgg, one of the first open source social networking platforms, from scratch with no external fund
