About Alix
Moving at the speed of relationships
Alix works with a network of researchers, experts, organizers, philanthropies, and political visionaries who are engaging in rewiring power relationships with technology. She serves as a board member at OpenMined and Foxglove, and Founder & CEO of The Maybe.
Together, we are challenging domination and exploitation as the primary mode of using technology. We are creating systems that serve the public, not the powerful few.
