How can we effectively address the pervasive gender and racial inequities affecting historically excluded tech founders?
GET Cities has found success through the formation of our Tech Equity Working Group, an alliance of accelerators, incubators, funds, and mission-aligned ecosystem supporters designing city-wide solutions and collective infrastructure to address these inequities. By pulling companies out of their silos and instead fostering collaboration toward a shared goal, TEWG acts as a collective launchpad for experimentation and validation of city-wide interventions. This approach has accelerated impact and driven innovation.
About GET Cities
GET Cities is a national initiative 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. We harness collective efforts across cities and sectors to center gender and identity in the conversation, to discover and disseminate best practices, and to use the learnings from our local pilots on the ground to accelerate national change. GET Cities launched in 2020, powered by SecondMuse Foundation, with catalytic funding from Pivotal Ventures and in partnership with Break Through Tech. Now in our fourth year, we are on the ground in Chicago, the DC Metro Area and Miami.
