MaconThon

As an Innovation and Entrepreneur supporting organization and as entrepreneurs ourselves, we been brainstorming the last two years on how to answer the following questions:


  • How Might We build solutions for our community while creating nurturing pathways for our local founders of color and innovators to succeed?

  • What gaps can we fill in our local tech and innovation ecosystem through a collaborative model?

  • How can we bring together like minded tech curious, innovators and creatives of color in Macon GA to build sustainable products while finding a community that is a safe space for them?


Through our brainstorming MaconThon was birthed. Then the pandemic happened which allowed us to tweak it and form so many cool partnerships.


MaconThon is a Community Innovation Program, in house we call it an accelerator infused Hackathon that supports innovative, tech curious, creative early stage Founders of Color in Macon GA seeking to develop a tech enabled solution for their community.


Our intensive 3 month program will provide individuals with hands-on mentorship from over 20 experts and office hours from nationwide experts in their field from across the tech and social impact space while providing some funding.
