Equitech Community,
In the vibrant heart of Baltimore, we’re not just building the next Tech Hub, but something more profound – the very first Equitech City.
Our mission extends far beyond technology; it’s about championing equity, diversity, and inclusion in the tech space. Together, we’re committed to holding space for one another, fostering learning, forging connections, and amplifying the spirit of community, not just in Charm City, but across the nation. At the center of this commitment is our flagship Equitech Tuesday gathering.
In the spirit of holding space and forging connections, this week, on Wednesday, October 25th, (from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM EST), we invite you to the Afrotech Sync, a crucial step in aligning our collective goals and igniting a presence at the 2023 Afrotech Conference in Austin, Texas. This endeavor isn’t just about attending a conference; it’s about building a lasting network of support and solidarity. Please fill out this Google sheet to be added to the calendar invite!
Speaking of our dedication to supporting the growth of our Baltimore founders, please check out these upcoming UpRise Masterclasses that we have for the end of the year!
