LA Tech4Good is a valuable pillar of the Los Angeles social enterprise and nonprofit communities.

Amit Thakkar: “The community they have built helped me get my startup off the ground!”
Tech4Good is an amazing organization! I was totally new to the tech industry when I joined, and the energy and motivations of the organization’s leadership, and the community they have built, helped me get my startup off the ground! Their events attract great people who are trying to do good things for the world. I’ve regularly attended their events for years, and they are a great way to spend your time if you’re interested in how technology can save the world. – Amit Thakkar, Founder & CEO, LawMaker.io
Jared Sheehan: “LA Tech4Good is [a] rising tide, bringing the small and big boats along a tidal wave of social impact.”
There are so many amazing things happening in Los Angeles today by various nonprofits, businesses, or social enterprises but many of them are not integrated or aligned. LA Tech4Good fills that gap by connecting individual missions to opportunities to collaborate and support each other. I am helping LA Tech4Good because I believe it is uniquely positioned to maximize the many disparate social good communities in Los Angeles. I love the concept that all boats rise on a rising tide. LA Tech4Good is that rising tide, bringing the small and big boats along a tidal wave of social impact. I believe LA Tech4Good will be critical in ensuring LA is ready to host the Olympics, reducing homelessness, improving the quality of life for the underserved, and making social change critical to the mission of the city. I give my time and money to make that belief a reality. – Jared Sheehan, CEO and Co-Founder of PwrdBy
Jessica Santana: “LA Tech4Good explores technology and social impact [with] scale, depth, and consistency.”
LA Tech4Good serves a crucial programming gap here in Los Angeles. Under Karen Borchgrevink’s leadership this group explores how technology can positively inspire social change in LA. I don’t think there is any other organization in LA that explores technology and social impact at the scale, depth, and consistency that LA Tech4Good provides! I fully support the work that comes out of this organization because — for myself, as a leader in LA’s health innovation space — I believe we need to continue to explore these tech topics that impact healthcare; themes such as design for a difference, bridging the tech divide, homelessness, building tech for inclusion. Our peers working in healthcare and those who are served by healthcare (which is all of us) will continue to benefit from these transparent, issue-filled conversations. – Jessica Santana, Director, Health 2.0 LA
Norma Fernandez: “LA Tech4Good is a great platform for learning and connecting.”
