About TechEngage

TechEngage® is an independent technology publication. Founded in 2003, TechEngage has covered consumer technology, software, and the tech industry for more than two decades. We publish daily news, analysis, reviews, and buying guides for readers who want clear, accurate information before they buy, build, or decide.

What we cover

Our coverage is organized into these sections:

• News and analysis: what happened in tech today and why it matters.

• Mobile, gadgets, and computing: phones, tablets, wearables, PCs, and hardware.

Who runs TechEngage

TechEngage is led by its founder and Editor-in-Chief, Jazib Zaman, who sets editorial direction and is accountable for what we publish. Our writers, reviewers, and editors work across several countries and bring backgrounds in technology, science, business, and journalism.

Every article carries a byline, and every author has a profile page with a bio and archive of their work. You can meet the full team on our staff page.

Ownership

TechEngage is a project of TechAbout LLC, a company based in Sheridan, Wyoming, United States. TechAbout LLC owns the TechEngage brand, website, and trademarks. No outside investor, advertiser, or technology company has ownership of or editorial control over TechEngage.

Editorial independence

Our editors decide what we cover and what we conclude. Advertisers and affiliate partners do not review stories before publication, and they cannot buy a rating, a ranking, or favorable coverage. Sponsored content, when we publish it, is clearly labeled and kept separate from editorial work.

How we report, verify, and update stories is set out in our editorial standards. How we handle conflicts of interest, review samples, and commercial relationships is covered in our ethics policy.

How TechEngage makes money

TechEngage is free to read. We fund our work in two ways:

• Affiliate commissions: some product links, including Amazon links, earn us a small commission if you buy something, at no extra cost to you. Details are on our affiliate disclosure page.
• Advertising and sponsorships: advertising partnerships, clearly labeled sponsored content, and event partnerships.

Commissions never decide which products we recommend. Our reviews methodology explains how products are chosen and evaluated.

Accountability and corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Material errors are corrected in the article with a note explaining what changed. Our corrections policy explains how to report an error and what happens next.

Trademarks and registrations

TechEngage® is a registered trademark in the United States (U.S. Trademark Reg. No. 6823709) and the United Kingdom (UK Trademark No. UK00003417167). The publication is cataloged under ISSN 2690-3776 with OCLC Number 1139335774.

Early history

TechEngage began in 2003. In its first years it operated as a community nonprofit that organized multi-day technology training conferences in the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area for people rebuilding careers after the dot-com bust. Three conferences served more than 600 attendees. Contemporaneous coverage appeared in the Santa Maria Times, the Austin American-Statesman, and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Over time the brand grew into the independent technology publication published today by TechAbout LLC, led by Founder and Editor-in-Chief Jazib Zaman, with top management including Muhammad Zeshan Sarwar and Nouman S Ghumman. Meet the current team on our staff page.
