This is a highly abbreviated version of the presentation I've shared with hundreds of people about marketing to software developers. The presentation is constantly evolving with new data, but the core story remains the same: the world is increasingly run by software, developers build software, and developers are thereby the key to your company's future. From our experience and research, we can teach you the keys to effectively gaining developer attention, interest, involvement, trust and adoption. And I'd love to help you, too.

Learning how to best negotiate with these New Kingmakers, therefore, could mean the difference between success and failure.”

- We reach 20MM UNIQUE developers every month. With developer-specific sites and messagesNo-one goes to only one site, as much as we’d like them to. Even when they have favorites, they still go to many. use case example – people go to google but click the links of trusted resourcesWhy the difference? Could be estimates. Could be multiple IP addresses for the same person.
- We have tons of experience doing this. Our board has years of experience in the market. Our sales team is focused on bringing you to the market in the best way possible.
