To be able to build relationships with people you’ve met only on the internet, and then feel like you’ve known each other for years when you finally meet in person – it is a feat only Equitech Futures could accomplish.

One of the biggest things Equitech Futures focuses on, and I find really lacking in this world right now, is collaboration over competition. The community came forward to support me in being bold about my vision and paving a different path for myself. I realized that there were more people supporting me and celebrating me rather than pushing me down.

I was an English major, and now I work in tech. I wanted a space where I could learn data science and AI and figure out how to apply these tools to real-world problems. Equitech Futures was the perfect fit.
