Representation matters.
We celebrate Hack.Alumni — 450+ strong — as they elevate within their Host Companies and contribute their ideas to technological advancement and inclusion.
Hack holds and protects a safe environment for folks to return to for guidance when they encounter new work-life blend challenges. We are inspired when this powerful network gives and receives learning, advocacy, and support from one another. They're carving out space for themselves and setting a higher industry standard for the future all while breaking barriers for the next generation of technologists.
Laying the Foundation for Generational Wealth
In 2021, Hack.Diversity launched a study with BW Research to better understand the upward mobility of Hack.Alumni.
In 2023, data revealed that wage growth was higher among Hack.Alumni working full-time than the comparison groups.* Over 71% of Hack.Alumni respondents earned at least $75,000 vs 28% of the cohort-weighted control group and 26% of the population-weighted group. Hack.Alumni also reported greater confidence in their career navigation abilities and the support systems available to them.

was a speaker at Hack.Diversity’s Inaugural Gala
The tight-knit community at Hack.Diversity provided me with a sense of belonging and support that goes beyond a traditional Fellowship. As a Fellow, I faced productive challenges that helped me grow technically and honed my interpersonal skills. Additionally, it equipped me with invaluable Mentors, engaging workshops, and a supportive family – I found a dynamic environment to seek guidance and answers to any questions that arose.
The impact on my career has been profound, exceeding expectations as Hack.Diversity supported me not only throughout the Fellowship but also during and after my internship at Liberty Mutual. Now, as a Software 2 Engineer at Dell Technologies, I credit Hack.Diversity for enriching my network, career, and aspirations, making it a family I will forever feel a part of.
