We are a team of experienced technologists and software executives who are passionate about helping non-profits succeed by providing cloud-based marketing technology at scale that is normally exclusive to larger enterprises.
We are building a team of trained and certified youth from underserved communities. We actively assess, recruit, train, integrate, mentor and place them into roles in digital marketing. Graduates ultimately are placed into a full-time position within one of our corporate or nonprofit partners.
