TL;DR - We are fundraising and we need your support.

We’ve supported over 250 people with their journey in tech so far, have 60+ recent graduates part of our WhatsApp community working at blue-chip tech companies, and built communities at universities across the UK.

I co-founded and collectively run Xuntos, a nonprofit organisation that supports underrepresented students and graduates with interest in pursuing a career in the technology industry; by providing opportunities to develop skills, build relationships and learn from each other.

We've been selected, and given an amazing opportunity to travel to Los Angeles to meet, network, explore and learn from the some of the world’s leading tech giants (Google, Netflix, Snapchat and Headspace) through site visits, workshops, networking dinners and more.

This trip is partly funded, but we’re short a little. Together we’re looking to raise an additional £1500 between three of us to cover the cost of our flights, accommodation and transport.

We’ve set up a crowdfunding page, with further details of the campaign here https://www.gofundme.com/xuntos-fundraiser.

With your support, we plan to fully utilise this opportunity by:

• learning directly from these companies to understand what they look for when sourcing candidates for their roles
• building and forming working relationships with these companies to better support those underrepresented in the tech industry
• offering international opportunities to students and recent graduates in our community
• understanding key factors, similarities and differences between the UK and US tech industry to see how young people in tech can thrive in the UK
• expanding our network, reach and influence among leading tech corporations working towards building inclusive and diverse workforce
