How did we support in building inclusive pathways for women, trans, and non-binary people in tech? GET Cities was a national initiative launched in 2020, powered by SecondMuse Foundation with catalytic funding from Pivotal Ventures and in partnership with Break Through Tech. The program was designed to accelerate the power and influence of historically excluded people and places in tech through ecosystem alignment and activation to build a more equitable and vibrant economy. GET Cities recently announced their transition into the broader community, marking the sunset of the initiative in its current form. The collective efforts across Chicago, the DC Metro Area, and Miami have left a powerful mark on the tech ecosystem. Swipe below for some key highlights!
