Overview

Open Tech Markets is a project dedicated to preserving a competitive, open, and interoperable technology landscape. Our aim is to counter monopolization in tech by supporting independent developers, researchers, and communities who rely on open standards. Your contributions help fund tools, education, and advocacy that keep markets fair and accessible for innovators of all sizes.

Through clear governance and practical programs, we seek to empower people to build, learn, and participate without gatekeeping. This work flourishes when the ecosystem has reliable resources, transparent decision making, and space for collaboration across borders. By supporting this initiative, you help sustain a network built on shared principles rather than narrow interests.
