AI is becoming a game-changer in digital readiness and upskilling for entrepreneurs. Initiatives like this help equip communities with the tools they need for a digital-ready future and help small businesses grow and thrive. Participants received refurbished laptops donated via Computers 4 People that will enable them to continue their learning and innovation. The lasting impact comes from collective action...strong partnerships, and community-driven efforts. We’re proud to stand alongside these great partners and can’t wait to see what they create next!

On May 18th, the Centri Tech Foundation partnered with the Black upStart and Martha's Table to host the "AI for Entrepreneurs Workshop" in Washington, D.C. This in-person event brought together 33 individuals with little to no tech or entrepreneurship experience and provided them with an immersive, daylong training to learn how to leverage generative #AI and digital tools to kickstart side hustles and advance their business ventures. The AI for Entrepreneurs Workshop was made possible with funding from Verizon’s Forward Community Enhancement Award in support of the Centri Tech Foundation's new initiative #CommunitySkillsConnect.
