Hackerpreneur Magazine

Hackerpreneur was a digital magazine published for iOS in the 2010s, a short-lived golden age of digital magazines.

The last issue was published in 2019 and we removed the iOS app from the app store in March of 2025.

And where we can, we are working on making the archives available.

I write this with a sense of sadness (that it ran its course), pride (that this project ever existed), and (overwhelmingly) gratitude to the readers who supported the project over the years.

Thanks for everything.

Here’s to the future.

The original idea was to curate the timeless, esoteric stories and case studies at the intersection of technology, business and art and compile the best 5 or 6 into a quarterly digital magazine. Great writing deserves to be elevated, preserved and shared across time and geography, instead of disappearing into the web’s abyss.

Every piece we selected was written by an entrepreneur, designer, artist, VC, or another trouble-maker because we believe that nothing beats in-the-trenches experience and the stories that emerge. No open submissions, no staff writers, no freelancers.

The magazine featured contributions from Ash Ambirge, Kevin Kelly, and Henry Rollins. David Heinemeier Hansson, Heidi Roizen, Ryan Hoover, Eugene Wei, Sam Altman, Daniel Gross, Derek Sivers, and dozens more disruptors and taste-makers.
