Free personalized support to bring every entrepreneur online
The Tech Desk connects small businesses with hands-on volunteers to build an online presence, for free
Being online can transform a business. But, while there are great resources out there, they can be hard to discover, and even harder to set-up. Our goal is to partner with small businesses to identify and build-out a self-sustaining online presence.

The magic of Tech Desk lies in the 1:1 relationship between a volunteer and an entrepreneur

Check out some of our businesses
Divinity Salon
A small salon for textured hair in Portland Oregon found more new clients and set-up online appointments to make it easier for clients to book!
Zaseelah Natural Skincare
Zaseelah Natural Skincare sold their products predominantly at markets and festivals. This website enables them to sell year-round to all clients.
Hanas PDX
Hanas PDX is already a Portland-favorite. Creating a website has helped their fans find their food truck and catering options.
The Tech Desk is a non-profit organization founded by three Stanford computer science graduates from Portland who wanted to give back to their community by helping local businesses, especially those disproportionately affected during the time of COVID-19, increase their online presence.
We exist to empower entrepreneurs to focus on what matters most: growing their business. Having a good online presence has no shortage of benefits to a business, including increasing discoverability and decreasing logistical communication with customers.
