The Hidden Genius Project was founded in 2012 by five Black male entrepreneurs/technologists who were unnerved by the dramatic juxtaposition between the high unemployment of Black male youth and the plethora of career opportunities within the local technology sector. To address this challenge, the founders established a program to connect young Black males with the skills, mentors, and experiences that they need to become high-performing entrepreneurs and technologists in a 21st century, global economy.

By Far, the biggest benefit is contributing to the mission, which is training and mentoring young Black males in technology creation, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills to transform their lives and communities. If you're not looking to do that, the rest means less.
