Help people work and succeed in the technology industry

• There is a global tech talent shortage and a growing inequity in the distribution of wealth caused by technology industry. We need to invest in the growth and retention of tech talent.

Help create a world where a distributed workforce is the norm.

Help create a world with affordable, higher outcome alternatives to traditional universities.

Help create immersive educational or entertaining experiences using VR or AR.

• When is the world going to be ready for VR/AR? What are the "killer app" use cases for these new technologies?

Help people solve problems without having to learn how to code.

• This speaks to the no-code movement.
