A guest post by Mark Gerson on a different kind of startup, United Hatzalah
“TechBikers are a unifying force in the London tech start-up community and a testament to the power of purpose in bringing together a community to do good. In 2018, TechBikers helped to fund 9 libraries in Vietnam, 4 libraries in India and support 16 girls in Room to Read’s Girls’ Education Programme! I’m so thrilled …
It’s been an active year for Techbikers. As we return to school, and home from summer holidays, I wanted to pause for a moment to give an update on where we are, what we’ve accomplished so far and how you can get involved.
Trying to sum up the ride will have to wait for another post. Instead, I’d love to share some of the thoughts that riders shared after the ride (I kept them anonymous for privacy). One can meet people for ‘industry events’ over drinks 10 times and struggle to make a connection. But cycle with them for 3 days, and you would have made friends for life. Hope to see you in one of our future rides.
The other day I introduced the Inspiration for Techbikers?—?in this post I’d like to share the Impact with you since our inception.
This is the story of Techbikers. When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. Techies, community and charity, coming together for a higher purpose.
This weekend, I took part in Random hacks of Kindness, a social enterprise hackathon taking place all around the world. I usually attend these things as a mentor, but this time I decided to roll up my sleeves, pitch an idea and get a project done in one weekend (48 hours)
