We're building the equitable tech industry we wish to see

We Build Black

Educate. Empower. Employ.

Our mission is to empower the Black community to achieve socio-economic change through technical education and professional development. We Build Black creates opportunities for Black technologists to network, share skills, give and receive mentorship, and discover their next employer. By nurturing the existing community of Black technologists and creating pathways into tech, we're building a more equitable tech industry for ourselves and the next generation.

Making the tech industry OUR industry.

We Build Black is on a journey to redefine what it means to belong in the tech industry. The path forward is uncharted, but we don’t shy away from uncertainty.
