Talent is universal, opportunity is not
We develop IT professionals from low-income communities and connect them with companies around the world seeking qualified talent.
Social Problem
One in three youth in the Americas lives in poverty. However, more and more have access to the internet while the cost of equipment like phones and laptops continues to decrease.
Market Problem
The market faces a growing deficit for digital talent. For every software developer, five positions remain unfilled due to a lack of qualified labor.
Solution
We provide a win/win solution; we work to close the digital talent gap by helping young people from underserved communities build a career in technology.
Our Impact
We are a technology education and employability program impacting young people in Brazil and the United States.
