A new way to track fast-moving legislation
DC-based Axios and Quorum’s platform, which will launch in June, aims to help government affairs teams by consolidating bills and related news in one searchable location.
“Before this partnership, you might have to have 30 different tabs on Google,” Alex Wirth, the CEO of Quorum, told me. “We’ve been able to combine that all into one singular view and make it much, much easier to both collect that information in the same place and then be able to navigate through it.”

Share events with the right audience
Sure, there are plenty of places to post an event — but how many can say it’ll be seen by the largest engaged audience of technologists, entrepreneurs, tech leaders and ecosystem builders in the mid-Atlantic?
That’s the value prop of Technical.ly’s new Events Board. Fill out a simple form, and your post will go live, with zero cost for free events. (Paid ticketed events cost $150.) We’ll be sharing listings from that board in this newsletter and on our social channels and Slack. Catch you there.
➡️ Check out the Events Board and maybe even post your own.
