Talk with Paul Biggar of Tech for Palestine

​Paul Biggar will be sharing his experience as a tech innovator who spoke up, how allies can bring awareness to the issue, and what Tech for Palestine aims to achieve.

​Paul is the founder of Tech For Palestine, where thousands of tech workers collaborate on projects to advance the cause of Palestinian freedom.

​Paul previously founded a unicorn (multi-billion dollar) startup called CircleCI, and was recently removed from its board after writing a viral blog post for Gaza called "I Can't Sleep" read by millions. This led to the formation of Tech For Palestine.

​Prior to launching Tech for Palestine just two months ago, he was running a new startup called Darklang that simplifies writing cloud backends. Paul has an impressive resume prior to these companies. He completed his Ph.D. in compilers/static analysis, worked on Firefox while at Mozilla, and has gone through the prestigious startup accelerator Y Combinator.
