Mentorship for Gen-Z in technology.

komun.io is a non-profit diversity initiative that aims to inspire the next generation of technologists. We attract a diverse pool of young talents and provide guidance for their career in technology through 1:1 mentorship and support.

We are focused around tech and innovation, and welcome diversity in gender, ethnicity, race and religion.

What is komun.io?

Diversity makes tech better. But numbers show there’s a lot of work to do. The need for technical roles continues to grow and is expected to reach 1.4 million in 2020, yet diversity of tech workers is lacking (1). As the industry of the future, the tech sector has a duty to ensure that equality and opportunity is available to everyone, regardless of background. It is our hope that this program will help more diverse talents enter and flourish in tech and support equal opportunities in the fastest growing sector of our economy.

We are currently mentoring 31 young adults from 15 countries.
40.3% of mentees are female. Talents come from countries like Cambodia, Iran, Serbia, and Zimbabwe.
