To Help Futures Grow.
This Is Tech Done Right.
We're a national support nonprofit for tech-focused social entrepreneurs and diverse founders.
No entrepreneur can succeed without a strong network of support. But because of the ways access and opportunity have traditionally been distributed, social entrepreneurs and diverse founders are less likely to know people from top colleges and companies than their counterparts. This means they have less robust networks to draw on for advice, customers, funding, and professional growth. We call this the Relationship Gap.
Goodie Nation exists to eliminate the relationship gap that stands in the way of success for too many promising entrepreneurs, especially those who are people of color, women, or aren't located in coastal financial centers. By making sure that every entrepreneur, no matter their background or location, can access the relationships they need to thrive, we are building a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.

It’s been great to work alongside like-minded founders in similar spaces. The other founders have helped me become a better leader and take my startup to the next level by sharing real world experiences and solutions they’ve had.
