Driving Responsible Innovation for a New Economy
The Tech We Want is on a mission to create a transformative tech ecosystem by uniting, empowering and amplifying marginalized leaders, advocates, and entrepreneurs in the tech industry. Our mission is to collectively foster a future where everyone can thrive by collaboratively experimenting with and funding innovative cultural and economic infrastructures.
Tech Confidential is a panel series that brings together tech founders, investors, operators and organizers to discuss the work of building visionary alternatives that center human thriving and responsible innovation. Drawing on three years of work of building The Tech We Want, the series examines the emergent questions and challenges of building a new economy.

Aniyia Williams, lead of The Tech We Want, hosts a panel with four influential tech leaders—Susan Mac Cormac, Coraline Ada Ehmke, Christie Pitts, and Shu Dar Yao—to discuss creating tools for a new, inclusive economy and their roles in it.
