Investing in LA.
Building Opportunity Together.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between tech and community.
LA Tech was founded by tech founders and CEOs to support our hometown. We want to increase economic opportunity for LA’s low income students and underrepresented communities.
Investing in LA’s Future: You
LA Tech is a nonprofit coalition established by the Los Angeles tech community to enhance economic opportunities for underserved communities in LA. We provide LA youth with the skills and knowledge needed to break into tech through paid learning opportunities.
Together, We’re Building a Stronger LA
We believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t. That’s why strong partnerships with tech leaders like Google, Waymo, and Microsoft and many LA based tech companies, as well as more than 200 dedicated tech volunteers have made this a powerful year for the LA Tech community.
