Less suffering for animals equals a more sustainable world for humans. Let’s build solutions that can keep the world in balance for future generations!
We all know and love PartyParrot, the dancing emoji with a cult following. This ridiculous emoji was a play on a September 2009 viral video of a Kakapo parrot named Sirocco, trying to mate with a zoologist's neck… Well now he’s in trouble. Billions of animals are suffering right now. Animal welfare is human welfare. Join us to help minimize animal cruelty by using new technology.
At least 1.6 trillion wild animals are killed and suffer through people’s actions every year.
More than 70 billion farm animals are consumed annually.
25% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions are due to food production, which also takes up half of the planet’s habitable surface.
Scientific and technological advances have already brought us the first lab-grown hamburger and camera traps for wild animals with computer vision that help prevent poaching, but we have many other ways we could try to better the situation. Using technology can help us disrupt all of the below areas:
There are only 3 simple steps to take in order to use
your best skills to make an impact.
Decide whether you want to provide Custom software development, take part in a 2-week Sprint for impact
or pledge your time to provide
meaningful consulting for non-profits.
Declare in what kind of projects would you like to participate in - define your problem, geographical, and tech preference. We will get back to you by March 13th with a list of potential projects that you could support.
Participate in a Matching Call where you will get to meet the non-profit team and check if there is a spark for a joint project. If yes then all there is left is to participate in a scoping session and you are good to go!
Here’s why others are already joining Tech to the Rescue.
Social impact becomes one of the most important criteria for Gen Z when choosing their place of work. Companies that are actively involved in the Tech for Good movement will gain a huge advantage over the competition.
A lot of seemingly small-scale involvement could go a long way. Don’t worry about finding the right NGO, don’t worry about verifying the impact – get matched by Tech to the Rescue and be sure that you can provide meaningful help.
Tech talent today seeks flexibility, socially responsible ventures, and value propositions that are about more than just making money. The ones who are capable of connecting purpose and vision with work are going to be able to attract and retain top talents.
Q&A we hear frequently about Tech to the Rescue and the Tech for Good movement.
There are only three that you need to keep in mind for now:
27 February - the time for submissions of initial support and pledges ends
13 March - we finalize the list of partners and projects
21 March - you will be matched with a nonprofit organization to deliver an impactful project
Yes, Tech to the Rescue regularly matches tech companies with nonprofits who focus on many different causes. You can fill out the form and once we contact you you can specify which area you are especially interested to make an impact.
The type of support where you provide a whole development team to deliver a full digital solution for nonprofit organizations. Just as with any other commercial project you work in sprints and follow software development good practices.
It’s a two week event where you can submit your whole team to work with no-code, low-code, or standard solutions to develop websites and simple apps for nonprofit organizations. We want to unmute ourselves and make a great impact in a very short amount of time. More information about the event soon.
This option is for people who do not have a whole team whose time they could dedicate to pro-bono work. You can support nonprofit by pledging your time and helping them to solve problems connected to technology, how they work with current tools or with optimizing their workflows.
Get matched with high-impact Tech for Good projects and support the causes that resonate the most!
