Hmmm. I tell people I work in "tech" and founded a "tech" company. We make software for testing complex systems (robots, cars, satellites, etc.) and constructing a model of their behavior to hunt for edge cases, help diagnose field issues, etc. (see: www.auxon.io)
It's not a SaaS, it's not a web service thing. Do we count as "tech" in the modern parlance?
