About Upslong

Welcome to Upslong — where real-life tech careers meet thoughtful planning and future-focused living.

We’re an edutainment business based in New Zealand, dedicated to helping technology workers thrive in the age of AI, remote work, and constant change. What makes us different? We don’t just talk theory — we share what we actually do in our own lives: how we manage software projects, grow our portfolios, and build careers that last.

Our Approach: Real Tools for Real People

At Upslong, we combine three core pillars to help you grow with clarity and confidence:

1. Project Management for Modern Tech Careers
   We apply tried-and-tested principles from software development project management to everyday work and life — from launching side projects to planning remote work sprints. It's about staying focused, shipping consistently, and building momentum.
2. From Earning to Investing
   We're passionate about turning earned income into portfolio income through investing — not as financial advisors, but as individuals sharing our own journey. We explore strategies and tools that have worked for us, aiming to inspire, not prescribe. Disclaimer: We are not financial advisors. Any investment or financial content we share is based on personal experience and is for informational and educational purposes only. Please do your own research and seek professional advice where needed.
3. People First, Even in the AI Age
   Technology changes fast — especially with AI evolving every day — but the key to success remains the same: people. How we learn, collaborate, adapt, and care still matters more than ever. We focus on helping humans thrive with tech, not compete against it.

What We Offer

Through our YouTube channels, books, and services, we share:

• Practical insights for career planning in tech
• Creative ways to approach remote work and self-management
• Honest takes on AI, automation, and where humans fit in
• Personal reflections on investing, income building, and long-term thinking
• Real-world experience from managing software development projects for clients across time zones — with a focus on delivering on time, within budget, and with empathy

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: real success comes from balancing people and progress. We’re here to build futures where humans matter as much as the technology they use — where individuals are treated like people, not just productivity metrics.

We’re not here to sell hype, fear, or overnight formulas. We’re here to share the frameworks, habits, and decisions that have helped us build sustainable, flexible, and meaningful lives in tech — through real work, thoughtful planning, and a long-term view.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s grow smarter, live better, and build what truly matters — together.
