Little Tech on the Prairie

Big Tech, billionaires and corporations are dominating the marketplace - and much of public life - while squeezing out the small business owner and common consumer. Ambit is motivated to “support local” by redirecting our dollars from billionaires to small business owners.

If you believe we need less Big Tech in the Valley and more Little Tech on the Prairie, then come join us on Ambit!
