Overview
Technology for Global Security (Tech4GS) is a new type of nonprofit: part think tank, part incubator, and purely nonpartisan. It has grown in reach and influence and serves as a bridge between the tech community and the policy world. Currently, Tech4GS is at an important inflection point as a young organization with an impressive track record and network that straddles thought leadership and connection to tech and policy leaders. This support will allow for the creation of a 3-year strategic plan, with help from Social Velocity. The plan will promote capacity building; help it develop a sustainable financial model; and grow its impact as it continues to serve as a collaborative platform on the intersection between technology and global security.
