Our Alumni
"Despite growing up near Silicon Valley, I did not study STEM in college. Yet I was always curious about how technology can be used to solve problems. Equitech Futures gave me the opportunity to learn data science and AI surrounded by a curious, supportive global community that really made me feel at home."

Oscar Tran, United States
“I always wanted to find a place that would challenge me to grow as a professional and as a change-maker, a place where my voice would be heard and I could freely discuss struggles and ideas. Equitech Futures turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.”

Anastasiia Kozlovska, Ukraine
“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.”
