But on the other end, it can be quite challenging to navigate equity practices that have a communal impact. In this talk, we will connect with BTE leaders to identify what the road to achieving equity in tech it looks like, and what it will take to make it happen.

2016 State of the Black Tech Ecosystem
Hello my name is Michael Grant . I have patent for technology for app I’m trying to build called CYPHERLIVE. I would like to find a partner to help me
Man this interview was great and inspiring!
Wish I could have made it to the workshop
How about we get the government off its @$$, and correct the problem they created. Slavery and Jim Crow put us in this hole, so reparations is the only logical answer to get us out. We need programs that train black descendants of slaves to be engineers, and to have a guaranteed job waiting for them upon mastery of the skills. You can't trust private industry to go out and hire us, especially under all that diversity garbage. Diversity means white women, asian immigrants, and african immigrants. Yet for the descendants of the people who built the wealth of this country, they will remain locked out without government intervention. That's just the truth of it. As a black man descendant of slaves I want to know Fabian, what is your net worth? Just give me a ball figure. How much investment capital are you getting versus your white piers?
Great interview!
Great event, learned a lot about what's happening around Chicago as far as Blacks in Technology & Entrepreneurship and some of stuff that's available, the opportunities and efforts being put forth. This is motivation for me, thanks.
