We’re looking for the next generation of CEOs and CTOs
We’re particularly keen to hear about great people who don’t fit outdated stereotypes – exceptional women, non-binary people, POC, and those from groups that are underrepresented in tech.
We believe the world’s future founders should reflect the diverse society we live in. Help us make that happen.
