About HATRO

HATRO is an email-first sourcing system that helps tech educators find real stories and helps builders earn trusted access—without pitches, spam, or negotiation overhead.

For Tech Educators

If you're a YouTube creator, technical writer, developer relations professional, tech course teacher, or tech magazine publisher, HATRO helps you get curated, relevant opportunities without spam.

Subscribe to receive curated opportunities that match your preferences. You'll only receive requests that are relevant to your topics and interests. All requests are filtered before reaching you, so you can focus on what matters—creating great content.

For Tech Developers

If you're a software company, hardware company, developer relations team, or open source author, the primary way to engage with HATRO is to receive requests from tech educators.

When you subscribe, you'll receive requests directly from creators seeking your expertise. These requests are not filtered—you can directly respond to the creator if their request aligns with what you have to offer. This gives you the opportunity to connect with educators who are actively looking for your type of expertise.

Coming soon: We will also support request submission from tech developers, allowing you to proactively share your technical stories, products, or data with educators. This feature is currently in development.

How It Works

Tech educators submit requests for quotes, anecdotes, data, and expertise. Tech developers who subscribe receive these requests directly via email. If a request aligns with your expertise, you can respond directly to the creator. If not, you simply ignore it—no follow-ups, no pressure.

Coming soon: Tech developers will also be able to submit their technical stories, products, or data. These requests will be filtered and sent to relevant educators who can opt in if interested.

Core Principles

  • Educators are scarce and protected
  • Access is asymmetric (brands compete, educators choose)
  • Email is the primary interface
  • No cold pitching
  • Expectation setting happens before any contact
  • Silence is an acceptable outcome
  • Quality over scale

Open to Everyone

HATRO is open to everyone—from creators with 100 followers to those with millions. We value quality content and educational value over audience size. Whether you're just starting out or have an established audience, if you create educational tech content, HATRO is for you.
