First-person perspectives on tech, money and survival.
We want your original insights on the chaos where technology meets reality
The artificial intelligence boom. The cryptocurrency rollercoaster. The platform economy reshaping work. The death of privacy. The rebirth of remote everything.
We’re living through a period where technology, culture and economics are colliding in ways that affect everyone, from the developer building the tools to the office worker whose job just got “optimised” by an algorithm they don’t understand.
theFreesheet is seeking original first-person opinion pieces that cut through the noise and help readers navigate this upheaval. We’re not interested in breathless hype or tired doom-mongering. We want clear-eyed analysis from people who’ve lived it, built it, lost money on it, or figured out how to survive it.
What we’re looking for:
Follow the money: Is this a bubble? Show us the signs. Where are the real opportunities versus the fool’s gold? What do the financials actually reveal when you strip away the marketing speak?
Practical wisdom: How should regular people, not just tech insiders, develop the skills to survive and thrive? What technical literacy actually matters? What’s a waste of time?
New problems, real solutions: What challenges has this convergence of tech and culture created that didn’t exist five years ago? What have you learned navigating them?
We want pieces from founders who’ve watched their sector transform overnight. Engineers who’ve seen the bubble signs before. Workers who’ve had to reinvent themselves. Investors who’ve spotted the warning signals. Anyone with genuine insight into how technology is reshaping the economic and social landscape and what that means for the rest of us.
To pitch: Send a one-paragraph overview explaining your perspective, your experience with the topic, and the core argument you want to make. Tell us why you’re the right person to write this piece and what readers will learn that they can’t get anywhere else.
Send pitches to: newsdesk@thefreesheet.com
Length: 800 to 2k words for accepted pieces
