David Smooke

I'm David, founder and CEO of HackerNoon, where 4M+ monthly readers come for quality tech writing. I built it from a small content experiment into an independent, profitable publishing platform with 50k+ contributing writers, 5k+ company customers, and 1,300+ community shareholders. I run it with my partner Linh. Before this, I went from newspaper reporter in Pennsylvania to Content Marketing Director at SmartRecruiters, where I built their blog into a 400+ contributor network. Ask me about growing HackerNoon, tech publishing and content distribution, building a profitable media company, and Business Blogging.
