Contribute to First Technology Group — business technology, legal tech, HR software, and startup coverage.
First Technology Group publishes content for business professionals who make real technology decisions — evaluating enterprise software, navigating legal tech, selecting HR platforms, building e-commerce businesses, and tracking the startup ecosystem. Our readers have high standards. They can identify content written by someone who has genuinely worked with the tools they are describing, and they can equally identify content written by someone who has not.
We are looking for contributors who belong in the first category.
Who We Are Looking For
- Enterprise technology practitioners — people who have implemented, managed, or evaluated the business software they are writing about
- Legal technology professionals with hands-on experience of the platforms, workflows, and regulatory environments they cover
- HR leaders and HR technology practitioners with direct experience of the HRMS, payroll, and workforce tools they review
- E-commerce operators and platform specialists who know the technology from building and running actual businesses
- Startup founders, venture investors, or ecosystem professionals who can add perspective beyond press releases
- Enterprise AI practitioners who have deployed, tested, or evaluated AI tools in real business environments
- Compliance and regulatory professionals who understand the frameworks they are writing about from the inside
Strong professional experience in the subject area is a prerequisite. Writing ability that can communicate that experience clearly is what we help develop together.

Our Standard — Simply Put
Our readers make real business decisions based on what they read on First Technology Group. A misleading enterprise software comparison, an inaccurate compliance guide, or a legal tech review written without professional knowledge does not just fail as content — it can genuinely harm the businesses relying on it.
We set a high bar for contributors because our readers have a high bar for their decisions. If you have the professional expertise and the commitment to accuracy to clear that bar — we very much look forward to reading your pitch.
Send your pitch to contact@firsttechnologygroup.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
