What is TechYeet?
​​​
TechYeet is a diverse, social, and professional tech community.
​​
TechYeet, founded by Jason Jaques and co-led by Nicole Lawlor, began with the idea of helping people socialize again after the isolation of COVID quarantine. Yeet means 'to throw' or 'to get excited,' and both definitions work for TechYeet. Sometimes it's important to throw work aside and have fun, and other times, it's important to get excited about tech!
​
Thousands have joined the community since its inception and events occur frequently. Lunches, coffees, happy hours, golfing, hiking, skiing, and other activities allow the TechYeet members to socialize, share ideas, and sometimes professional and business opportunities ensue. However, please heed the wise quote: "You only get out, what you put into it."
​
The primary platform for the TechYeet community is an invite-only Slack. If you are interested in joining, ask a member for an invite or reach out to one of our Community Builders: Kat Fox / Holly Girouard
