Our Vision

Black ingenuity driving innovation in tech

Together, we envision a future where more Black tech professionals are designing products and leading innovation in tech. A future where Black people are thriving in a tech ecosystem that inspires them to develop better solutions and services that achieve better outcomes for all. And a future where Black people are building fulfilling, lucrative, and impactful careers in tech.

Our origin Tech Equity Collective (TEC) is an initiative started by Google employees who rallied together in the summer of 2020 to help Black professionals grow and thrive in the tech industry.
