Two kinds of get-togethers — a Coffee Chat and a Saturday Project. Both free, both open to anyone.
One afternoon a month · Hong Kong
We sit in a casual room and talk. An NGO person shares the exhausting, unglamorous part of their week. Tech people listen to learn, not to lecture.
Small on purpose — 8 to 15 people. No pitch deck, no speaker slot, no networking energy. Just coffee and honest talk.
Buzzword without a plain-English explanation, you're buying the coffee.
One Saturday morning · in-person or online
We pick one specific, annoying problem from a local group and spend a morning fixing it. Not a strategy deck — an actual working thing.
Simple, free, or low-code tools your team can manage on Monday. If it needs a computer science degree to keep running, we don't build it.
You have the fix in your hands, you understand how it works, and there's a one-page instruction sheet for whoever on your team touches it next.
NGO folks — no files, no data, no technical brief needed. Just bring your story and your bottleneck.
Technologists — no need to be senior, no need to be a genius. Know how to use a computer, ready to listen — you belong here.
RSVP so we know how many chairs to pull up — exact venue lands in your inbox a few days before.
One hour of an NGO leader telling us what's actually eating their week. One hour sketching the smallest fix that might help. Bring your questions, not your business card.
We pick one real problem from a local NGO and fix it together by lunch.
Everything's free. Small rooms, so RSVPs help us plan — exact venue by email, a few days out.
Can't make this one? Say hello anyway. We'll loop you in on the next.
