For our communities, it means helping close the technology opportunity gap by bringing education and resources closer to the people who need them.
THIS IS BIGGER THAN TECHNOLOGY.
This is about jobs.

This is about helping a small business become stronger.
This is about helping someone develop a skill that could change the trajectory of their career and their family.
And this is about ensuring our communities aren’t simply watching the AI revolution happen, we’re preparing them to participate in it.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER
“NOIR Vintage Fund was founded on the belief that access can change lives. Our partnership with Google represents another major step toward turning that belief into opportunity.
Technology is transforming the way we work, the way we build businesses, and the skills employers are looking for. The question for us has never been whether that transformation is coming, it is whether our communities will have access to the knowledge, training, and resources necessary to participate in it.
Through NOIRx and NOIRx Academy, we are creating that pathway.
We want to help someone discover a new career in technology. We want to help a small business owner understand how AI can help their company grow. We want to introduce communities to cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies that may have previously felt beyond their reach.
We don’t just fund initiatives. We architect ecosystems.
This partnership, and the launch of NOIRx, represents exactly what that means.
And we’re just getting started.”
