About HIPP
Every organization deserves access to the resources they need to scale and succeed. That is why we’re directing up to $1 million USD in pro bono brand marketing and public relations services to tech and tech-enabled organizations led by or supporting underserved communities. This program is part of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy to amplify people and organizations creating meaningful and sustainable change in the world through technology innovation.
What we look for
An organization that is either led by or supporting people from underserved communities.
“At Mentalis, we aim to close the gap in the aftercare of mental illness. With Hotwire as our partner, we want to bring this topic and our approach even higher on the agenda of the professional public.”
Additionally, as part of HIPP, our Spain team founded Margarita Bly, a collaborative think tank made up of PR and communications professionals, as well as journalists, committed to paving the way for future female tech communicators by encouraging young women and girls to pursue careers in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).
