Why Attend - Your Network Is Your Net Worth

Now more than ever, we need spaces that open doors and move power. Consider this:

• 85% of jobs are filled through personal connections
• 70% of jobs are never publicly posted
• Less than 2% of VC tech funding goes to Black-led companies

These numbers tell a clear story: access, opportunity, and funding don’t always happen through traditional paths. That’s why gatherings like this matter.

Attend to:

• Connect with professionals in Tech and Sustainability who share your culture, values and lived experiences
• Learn insider strategies for sheltering your 2025 funds from a tax expert
• Learn what SBA lenders are really looking for to strengthen your next move

Who Should Attend

• Professionals, entrepreneurs, inventors and investors in tech or sustainability
• Champions for the advancement equity and innovation

Join us as we connect Black, Latino, API and Indigenous professionals in Tech and Sustainability, shape the future of two of the most powerful industries on the planet, and build economic power to close the racial wealth gap.
