Help fix tech?
The Collab Lab is on a mission to fix tech, an industry rife with gatekeeping and inequity. Our developers reflect the diversity we want to see in tech, with an emphasis on supporting people from groups typically underrepresented on software teams. Joining us as a volunteer is a way to give back and help early-career developers gain their footholds in tech.
