Build. Network through it.
Our events are demo nights, working sessions, hack days. The best intros happen when you've got something to show.

AAPI technologists
in NYC
A community of Asian American and Pacific Islander engineers, founders, designers, and builders in NYC. We meet, we ship, we back each other.
Coming this summer
$ ls principles/
Specific, not symbolic.
AAPI is the floor, not the ceiling. We're here because identity informs the work — not because the work is about identity.
Back each other.
Intros, referrals, design reviews, code reviews, deal flow. The strongest communities are the ones that act like one.
