Draft.dev Named in 2025 Inc. Regionals List

We’re excited to announce the addition of Draft.dev in the 2025 Inc. Regionals: Midwest list of fastest-growing companies! This recognition reflects our team’s dedication over the past several years to creating exceptional technical content that drives actual business results for our clients.

Draft.dev’s Growth Story

When Karl Hughes founded Draft.dev in 2020, he identified a universal challenge in the tech industry: companies with innovative products consistently struggled to create technical content that genuinely resonated with developers. Marketing teams lacked the technical expertise to write convincingly for this audience, while engineering teams focused on building products, not content.

Draft.dev’s solution? Build a specialized agency bridging this gap with a network of practicing technical professionals who could create authentic, valuable content specifically for developer audiences.

Since then, our growth has been remarkable, supporting Marketing Teams with technical content, as well as helping DevRels scale their efforts:

• Expanded our network from a handful of writers to more than 300+ technical subject matter experts
• Worked with more than 150+ technical companies, ranging from early-stage startups to enterprise companies
• Delivered more than 4000+ pieces of technical content to clients
• Maintained a consistent focus on serving technical audiences

Why Technical Content Drives Business Growth

Our inclusion to the Inc. Regionals list validates what we’ve believed from day one: high-quality technical content is a critical business driver for technology companies. Through our work with clients ranging from startups to enterprises, we’ve proven that technical content can:

• Drive awareness by creating a consistent cadence of valuable information that attracts the right audience
• Capture leads through strategic content that converts passive readers into engaged prospects
• Build trust by demonstrating deep subject matter expertise that technical decision-makers respect
