    Nah, being a man who's into tech is a necessary but not sufficient condition to being a "tech bro". That term has a whole bunch more baggage and I think very few people on the threadiverse qualify.

    You might get lucky if you wear knee socks.

    Can't speak for general tastes, but I'm sure there's a few directly into that.

    Just gotta find a woman who pays for Google One and save her $ every month by hosting her files.

    Bonus: she's locked into your ecosystem (don't do this)

    Yep, and if you're a real techbro, you start off by making the offering great. But then, you gradually enshittify it. Popups start coming up that ask her to consent to things she doesn't really want forever, on unconscionable terms, but at first there is a 'Yes' or 'Not now' option. Behind the scenes, there are terms saying you can change the terms any time you like, and her only option is to leave within 14 days, and it is her responsibility to monitor the terms and stop using it if she doesn't agree. You start silently changing the terms to allow you to opt her in by default to consent to things she doesn't want. She opts out, so you change the terms again so she has no choice. All the while the service gets worse - but what's she going to do, she's locked in.

    And that sort of thing is why working for companies known for doing the equivalent of the above but to the public is not going to get a good reaction.
