Door64: A Quick Look

Founded in 2007 by Matt Genovese, Door64 is an organization of over 20,000 technology professionals from Austin, Texas working high-tech fields such as software, information technology (IT), mobile, hardware, and semiconductors.

Our goal is to create a local technology community that serves its members, from individual professionals to technology companies and organizations, ultimately benefiting the greater Austin area.

We create high-value networking and educational engagements between technology professionals and companies, and have helped many businesses with brand awareness, talent recruiting, product/service promotion, and more through our unique in-person events and online presence. Examples of some Austin-area events we have produced to serve the Door64 community include:

• Door64 Happy Hour Networking Events
• Door64 Technology Showcase (formerly the "Door64 Tech Fair")
• Door64 Technology Job Fair
• Door64 SXSW Interactive Party

Our Website

Door64.com is our community’s website used to interact online and disseminate news. These are some features of our site:

• Event Calendar: Learn about Austin-area technology and professional conferences, clubs, organizations, networking events, user groups, and more. Our members keep the calendar up to date by posting events as they are discovered.
• Tech Jobs: Find Austin-area technology jobs posted by corporate and technical recruiters. It’s free to post and respond.
• Door64 Candidate Network: Our members can submit their resume into the DCN database if they are interested in a career move. Though we are not a recruiting firm, sometimes we are in a position to help companies find technology talent, and we source from the individuals who registered in the DCN.

Beyond our website, we have presence on other social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Our Culture and Place in Austin

Door64 is a proud member of the greater Austin technology community, and we love to support other local technology organizations. Our tech calendar is just one way that we help local user groups and meet-ups by spreading the word locally to potentially new members. In fact, we actively encourage Door64 members to join existing groups or start their own meet-ups because such activities often seed professional growth.

Similarly, we view both technology professionals and companies as entities who can benefit from a supportive local ecosystem. We encourage our individual members to support local tech companies through their own professional networks, and find ways to help each other by referrals and knowledge-sharing. When we support one company, we benefit the entire Austin technology community.
