WELCOME TO TECH MISFITS
Unlock your potential through digital literacy courses & networking with tech innovators!
Tech Misfits is a social networking & tech education app for professionals seeking to thrive in a digital economy!

Internet & software technology is transforming every major industry and day to day life. . . but without a tech literate society, billions will not benefit from technological advances.

Tech Misfits aims to facilitate the following for professionals:
Tech
Literacy & Education
Network Building & Collaborations
Innovation & Problem Solving
Tech Misfits aims to help millions of professionals increase their potential through digital literacy learning, support, content, trainings, and networking.

Our vision is to
  1. Curate a sustainable, organized, and mission-aligned network of technologically skilled professionals and organizations
  2. Enable and support member driven initiatives related to STEM & technology education
  3. Increase tech literacy, innovation, and adoption globally through Tech Misfits courses, events, content, & conferences
  4. Enable tech innovation that drives humanity's growth & evolution

The Tech Misfits app & community will be accessible through lifetime, monthly, and annual subscriptions.
THE VISION
The first set of memberships will be lifetime memberships sold via an art collection of digital avatars.

Each Tech Misfits avatar is one of a kind, designed by Saniyyah Zahid under the creative direction of our founder Iris Nevins and co-producer Omar Desire. Over 500 traits will be combined through software code to generate the most diverse art collection of techie avatars in existence!

Whilst every Misfit is unique, some are more rare than others. Collectors can choose to purchase their Avatar in two ways

  1. Primary Market - purchase directly from the Tech Misfits team via a blind sale
  2. Secondary Market - purchase from an existing member who is selling their avatar

No matter which Avatar you get, every Misfit will be special but some will have more rare traits than others.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Technology adoption has a direct impact on economic development.

When people begin to adopt and understand tech, they become empowered to innovate and build new technologies that solve local problems relevant to their specific cultures and communities.

Many organizations are working hard to democratize access to technology and STEM education.

Tech Misfits is where we come together to cross-collaborate, organize, and evolve our digital literacy skills.
Tech Misfits subscribers will have access to a private member-only networking & education app. From there, members will be able to:
The Tech Misfits App
Powered By ETHEREUM
Ethereum is a technology for building apps and organizations, holding assets, transacting and communicating without being controlled by a central authority.

Launched in 2015, Ethereum builds on Bitcoin's innovation, with some big differences. Both let you use digital money without payment providers or banks. But Ethereum is programmable, so you can also build and deploy decentralized applications on its network.

While Bitcoin is only a payment network, Ethereum is more like a marketplace of financial services, games, social networks and other apps.

Ethereum has a native cryptocurrency called ether (ETH). It is purely digital, and you can send it to anyone anywhere in the world instantly. The supply of ETH isn’t controlled by any government or company - it is decentralized and completely transparent. New coins (also commonly called tokens) are issued only to stakers who secure the network.
