Your Custom TechWalk To-Do List

Welcome to our 13,282 Subscribers! 692 of you joined in the last 4 weeks! Have a message to share with our members? Reply to this email and let us know what you’ve got cooking.

👋 Hello to our new newsletter readers! I’m Cynthia Widjaja - learning and development professional, data science nerd, digital marketing enthusiast, TechWalk Silicon Valley Chapter community member, and newsletter editor. I’d love your help with a few things:

• Reach out Fiona McDonald, Talent Acquisition Specialist at AvePoint, the data security software provider, regarding hundreds of open roles, including Data and AI, Engineering, and Marketing. Fiona was a guest speaker during our December talent events, and we want to keep sending qualified candidates her way! Know someone who might be interested? Please forward this newsletter to them.

• Have you noticed people at a TechWalk, deeply engrossed in conversation, maybe walking with their heads bent together? Perhaps they are solving coding issues, or maybe they are working on an investor pitch? I want to offer one other alternative - an interview is in progress for our next feature of Humans of TechWalk. Meet Nick, Founder of Revision Learning. He wants to share your story with our 13K+ readers. Thank you Kevin for being our first profile!

• We just opened up two new TechWalk roles - Community Programming Director and Visual Editor and Archivist. Send us a note if these sound interesting.

Community Partnerships

Thanks to our partnership with BrainStation, there are a limited number of complimentary tickets available each week to TechWalk community members and newsletter subscribers. Please reach out directly to Brett Wisner, Senior Manager, Enterprise, if you would like to be added to the list.

A Word From Our Sponsors

Your Billing System Wasn't Built for This

SaaS pricing has changed. Your billing stack probably hasn't. As usage-based and hybrid models become the default, finance teams are left stitching together spreadsheets, reconciling data manually, and closing books under pressure. The cost? Revenue leakage, audit risk, and forecasts no one trusts.

Our new Buyer's Guide for Modern SaaS Billing breaks down exactly what to demand from a revenue platform built for today's complexity — from automated usage billing to AI-native collections and rev rec. Whether you're evaluating vendors or rethinking your stack, this is your framework for getting it right.
