empowers 2SLGBTQIA+ people to break into the tech industry, advance their careers, and launch innovative tech businesses
Overview
Founded in September 2016, QueerTech is a not-for-profit advocacy group for gender, sex and sexual minority (LGBTQ) professionals in the technology sector. Our mandate centres particular focus on the needs and activities of LGBTQ tech-entrepreneurs implicated within the start-up ecosystem of Montreal. We embrace diversity and inclusion as core guiding principles, so Ally and non-Queer professionals are always welcomed with open arms into our network of fun, astute and benevolent members. Our community congregates monthly at different venues located in our hometown that has witnessed a recent flurry of growth within its tech industry.
