Overview

The Tech Monopolies Defense Initiative is a collaborative effort to safeguard open, diverse, and innovative technology ecosystems. By supporting independent developers, researchers, and community advocates, the initiative works to counter consolidation and encourage fair competition. This campaign channels resources toward practical tools, open standards, and inclusive conversations that empower a wider range of voices to shape the digital future.

Through clear, outcome‑focused funding, supporters help sustain research, open‑source tooling, and knowledge sharing that reach beyond any single product or platform. The goal is tangible progress: healthier markets, more transparent practices, and technologies that serve people rather than exclusive interests.

Why Your Support Matters

For Tech Monopolies Defense Initiative, your support matters because it strengthens the community’s ability to observe, evaluate, and respond to market dynamics. Your contribution helps ensure that independent creators have a seat at the table and that responsible innovation remains possible even as platforms scale.

  • Promotes open standards and interoperability so users can mix tools without vendor lock‑in.
  • Fund independent research into platform practices, data portability, and governance models.
