Nonprofits and Tech Startups Kickoff Meetup - Nonprofits and Tech Startups (New York, NY. Alp and I are thrilled to welcome you to the first Nonprofits and Tech Startup Meetup to be held at Center4.

Our kickoff meetup is a chance to connect with our growing community in person, hear from nonprofit peers about the social challenges they're working on and how they're leveraging the world of startups, technology, new markets and models to scale and create better products and services to serve more people in need and improve the world around us. This new generation of nonprofit professionals, social entrepreneurs, technologists and investors that are rethinking the way we do good or make real impact is gaining a lot of momentum.

We will be hosting a panel discussion moderated by Center4's Managing Director, Jane Del Ser, and with panelists: See you at the meetup!

Evofem wanted a female CEO with experience in developing countries to help commercialize its products. Related: This Company Wants Its Customers to Know Exactly How Much It Is Making From Them.
