Wherever technology booms, prosperity follows. HackerNest builds tech and innovation communities because they’re the cornerstones of economic development that will lead to people living healthier, happier lives. We help tech nerds support each other, businesses find talent, and innovators meet collaborators. HackerNest came alive in 2011. On 11.1.11, we launched as a community-building event project with a coworking space in the west end of Toronto. 4 years later, it evolved into a federal Canadian nonprofit that has produced 850+ events (including epic hackathons) in 60+ cities with partners like Facebook, Amazon, Stanford, Harvard, the UK/US/Canadian governments, Dove, Deloitte, Grindr, Airbnb, and other organizations like them. We now have a community of over 100,000 technologists around the world. We have been afforded Special Consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council. We are in the City of Toronto’s economic and technology roundtable and was part of the White House's Opportunity Project delivering solutions empowering Americans to build tools to improve community access and opportunity using federal/local open data. The U.S. Department of State’s Secretary’s Office of Global Partnerships also named HackerNest as Managing Partner for Fishackathon 2017-18, a global hackathon series in dozens of cities around the world. We run two superconnectors - Community centric Tech Social events that bring technologists from all walks of life together to find friends, get advice, and check out opportunities, and Elite Meets, the small, invite-only dinners hosted by our sponsors to focus on learning and thought leadership specific to technology roles. Our special projects (hackathons, innovation events) rally around causes and innovation: CourtHack for access to justice, Fishackathon for oceans preservation & sustainable fisheries, et al. Expos and Job Fairs bring technologists and the companies, NGOs and governments looking to hire them together. hackernest.com | wikipedia.org/wiki/HackerNest | facebook.com/HackerNest | twitter.com/HackerNest
