Gives Out-of-Town Techies A Place to Stay in NYC
New York is flush with investors, incubators, and mentorship programs. But the lack of technical talent is preventing the City from truly rivaling Silicon… · More Valley as THE center of the technology world. Every single NYC startup is searching for developers right now, but the talent pool is small. That's a problem we need to solve.
The idea is simple: give visitors a chance to experience the NYC tech scene. It's our opportunity to welcome techies from around the world and show them what an amazing place New York City is for technology. NYC has everything they need to succeed. With our resources and their talent, they could get in on the ground floor of the next Big Thing while enjoying life in the greatest city in the world—who needs Mountain View when you can have an Empire State view?!
Adopt A Hacker gives these techies a helping hand and a starting point. We make it easy to visit NYC by pairing them with welcoming members of the New York startup scene that could extend a place to crash — or at least a cup of coffee! Once they see New York through the eyes of a New Yorker, they'll surely fall in love too!
