A community of problem solvers.
We’re working to bridge the divide between Silicon Valley and DC.
Join us for our Emerging Tech Ideathon
Washington, DC • May 11, 2024 • 12-7pm
We’re creating a space to bring together industry professionals, motivated early-career folks and ambitious students for a day of building, hacking, writing, and collaboration. Use this time to start a side-project, write an article, build a thesis, or learn about something new!
We’re interested in the mechanics of progress.
We can build an incredible future, but we can’t do it alone. It will take technologists and policymakers challenging the status quo and working together across disciplines to deliver solutions to the most pressing problems of our era.
We’ve come a long way, but we have much further to go.
The challenges of the 21st century are vast, but so are the opportunities. Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and social computing are dramatically changing the landscape of what’s possible.
