CTRL+ALT+BTTR: Systems.Society. Something better.@DF House x SXSW

​Join us at DF House for a morning of coffee and conversation in our first “Ctrl+Alt+Bttr” event where we explore how tech, climate, health and broader social issues intersect.

​Getting people in the room together is how stuff gets done. We believe optimism is a strategy, and we’re here to amplify the investors, founders, engineers and dreamers using innovation to tackle complex, human problems. We believe that tech can be a driving force of change and know you do too.

​We’re also passionate about IRL, community-based connections, bringing together purpose-driven people in a space for meaningful conversations and collaboration.

​Delve into this intersectionality further via two panel discussions with investors, founders and businesses who are shaping our future.

​Panel one: Navigating the frontiers of tech and safety
Founders and investors are increasingly balancing innovation with user safety, data privacy and algorithmic fairness as tech’s influence on society is evermore prevalent. It’s easy to despair, but there is cause for optimism. Join us for our first panel of the morning at DF House which will explore how these challenges are being turned into opportunities. This conversation will leave you inspired about how we can use technology as a force for good.

Panel two: What impact VCs want you to build
Climate and ESG have fallen out of favour – but what has replaced them? Our second panel will probe the evolving climate, health and impact investing landscape where we will unpick what venture capitalists are looking for in startups and solutions. In conversation with top investors, we will dissect the hottest industry trends, such as energy independence and security, and how purpose-driven companies can deliver both financial returns and meaningful change.
