MEET TUCOWS

Tucows has been making the internet better since 1993. We are publicly traded on the TSX and NASDAQ and have been referred to as "The biggest Internet company you've probably never heard of."

As a company that wants to actively make the Internet a better more accessible place, we understand the value of having a team that’s representative of the diversity of people who use the open Internet to work, learn, connect and fulfill their passions.

Partnering with initiatives like QueerTech allows us to empower traditionally marginalized communities with opportunities and support. Allowing new talent the opportunity to claim their space and generate impact on a global scale.
