As a black person working in Tech, it can be challenging finding other people of color in the field to connect and network with. Whether you’re looking for like-minded peers to engage with, mentors, investors, or just someone to bounce ideas off of, finding other Black and p.o.c Tech professionals to network with shouldn’t be a challenge. To tackle this, Equity 3.0 launched Black Tech & Wine. Black Tech & Wine aims to bring together black, women, and all other Tech professionals that are people of color for an evening of networking and connecting that will foster diversity, inclusivity, innovation, and breed continued business success amongst blacks, women and people of color in tech spaces across the globe.

Black professionals are underrepresented in tech. Today, we make up only 4% of tech workers. Hosting our Black Tech & Wine events for Black, women and people of color Tech professionals to connect, build relationships, access resources, investments opportunities and receive mentorship will increase the much needed representation of diverse communities within the Tech field, and also bring about perspectives and approaches that are necessary for solving the business problems of today and those of the future.

“Networking is not about just connecting people. It’s about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities”. Our aim is to do just that. Our events will be open to everyone, and we welcome everyone to join. And remember, “Your network is your net worth”, so join Black Tech & Wine and increase yours.
