Tribe Called T.E.C.H. programs and events fuel a funnel of individuals in two (2) categories: technology professionals and business founders. The difference between the groups is that one is seeking careers in established companies and the other is seeking the network to start their own company. However, both are important to a healthy Black Tech Ecosystem. By fostering this healthy and vibrant community, we strengthen the intimate bonds that drive positive network effects back into the Tribe Called T.E.C.H. network.
