What is the Equitable Technology Policy?

Equity hub is a group of initiatives that operates within the Equitable Tech Policy Framework drafted by the Kapor Foundation. It focuses on creating fair and inclusive policies within the technology sector. It aims to address systemic inequalities by advocating for policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in tech-related fields.

  • Invest in new models of inclusive tech workforce development, including new models for upskilling, reskilling, and hiring

  • Ensure technology platforms are held accountable for harassment, violence, discrimination, mis/disinformation, and other harmful consequences of their content

  • Close the digital divide through universal high-speed broadband access and adoption

We are mission-driven

  • Femmecubator (New York, NY)

    Femmecubator is a 501c3 non-profit org that started a pilot project Women Excel Labs in 2021. Their first project was to build a Mentor Matching site for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), Women and Femmes in tech. The site aims to encourage 1-on-1 coaching and provide access to a network of mentors.

    The pilot program yielded successful results - 10 Femmecubator members and volunteers acquired their first jobs in Big Tech firms Google and Spotify, and established corporations such as Optum / UnitedHealth Group, to name a few.
