The site was founded by current CEO Steve Black. Prior to Techboomers, Black had run Suited Media where he founded the first social network for poker players called Pokerspace.com.[3] He later became a SEO consultant, working with startups in Southern Ontario and California.[3] He founded Techboomers after his parents and older relatives would come to him for advice on using digital technology.[4]
Techboomers includes tutorial and videos to help teach lessons on how to use websites such as Facebook, YouTube, Netflix and Spotify.[4][5] The site is designed with larger fonts and drop down menus to make it easier to read and navigate.[5] A notable feature documented by the International Business Times is the site helps inexperienced users close and delete their accounts and user profiles on various sites.[6]
