Hello Tyk Community! 
Faye here, Community Manager at Tyk.
We’re starting this new format of monthly round-up of updates for you, where we’ll be sharing updates from the Tyk team, give kudos to our fellow community members and welcome folks who recently joined us.
Let’s get started!
The Tyk Side Project Fund is now open for applications
Are you working on an exciting product or service in your spare time? Apply to Tyk’s side project fund for the chance to receive £500 funding! Find out more about the fund here.
We hope you can also spread the word to your friends whom you think can benefit from the program. 
We’re a winner, baby!
We have been recognised as a leader in the G2 magic quadrant AND proudly wear the titles of highest performer and easiest to work with, and it’s all thanks to YOU. Thanks to everyone in the Tyk community for sharing your experiences in using Tyk!
Want to tell the world about your favorite API management platform? 
Leave us a review here, and we’ll donate $20 to Girls Who Code. PLUS we’ll also send you some Tyk swag! After submitting your review, simply send me a personal message here in the forum to arrange your parcel.
