About Blacks In Technology Raleigh - Durham
Founded on the principle of stomping the divide in technology, Blacks In Technology serves the Raleigh, North Carolina community and beyond as a resource for professionals seeking to network, develop professionally, and discover new opportunities in the tech space. The organization addresses a critical reality: Black workers in the technology industry are significantly underrepresented across every career demographic, from startup founders seeking venture capital to core IT workers pursuing pay equity. This non-profit foundation was created to level the playing field through training, education, networking, and mentorship, supported by a global network of allies, partners, sponsors, and members. The mission is to foster Black leaders in technology through action and professional development opportunities that create meaningful change in an industry historically lacking parity for Black workers. Blacks In Technology Raleigh-Durham recognizes that many Black professionals find themselves as the only Black person in their room or on their team, and the organization exists to eliminate that isolation through community connection. With a leadership team committed to transparency and real-world impact, the foundation provides complimentary membership benefits including career support, professional and social events, discounted technical resources, and access to a thriving community that encompasses all technology disciplines. By bringing together technologists, leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and transitional professionals, the organization creates a blueprint for success and visibility for Black technologists working to advance their careers and transform the industry.
