#BlackGirlsHack (#BGH) is the first non-profit hackathon series specifically targeting the African American tech community. Our mission is to bring the black tech community around the country, to help black founded startups and non-profits develop the mobile and web apps that they need to take their businesses to the next step, and to benefit a local non-profit with the proceeds from our events.
