POCIT: Tech

Overview
POCIT operates as a weekly editorial platform dedicated to narratives from and about people of color working within technology and startup ecosystems. Its stated objective is to surface stories and perspectives that are frequently absent from mainstream tech coverage, and to address an audience that includes the next generation of practitioners. The publication's format encompasses interviews, articles, and thought pieces, suggesting an editorial range that accommodates both reported journalism and first-person critical reflection. For writers, the opportunity is a byline in a venue with a defined editorial mission rather than a general-interest technology outlet. There is no submission fee, and the rolling deadline means that pitches and completed drafts are considered on an ongoing basis rather than against a fixed calendar. Because the platform publishes weekly, accepted work enters a regular cadence of coverage rather than a single annual issue or anthology. The curatorial vision is explicitly representational and forward-looking: to document the present realities of POC in tech while also speaking to those who have not yet entered the field. Writers should understand that the editorial lens is not neutral industry commentary but a sustained focus on lived experience, structural context, and the stories that shape how technology is built and who gets to build it.
