sf.citi SUPPORTS TECH POLICY SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE SAN FRANCISCO
We are sf.citi, the tech trade association of San Francisco. We empower the San Francisco technology community to have a voice in local tech policy decisions and collaborate with leaders in government on solving local issues. Founded in 2012, we are committed to building cross-sector conversation between the City’s tech, nonprofit, and political communities. We drive innovative policy solutions and develop social impact partnerships to address longstanding issues facing San Francisco.
COVID-19 UPDATES
sf.citi compiled a list of resources from San Francisco tech companies — and sf.citi members — to help people, organizations, and businesses navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn more about these tech resources and the latest COVID-19 updates in San Francisco, the Bay Area, and California.
TECH EXODUS
sf.citi unveiled a dashboard featuring new evidence of a mass migration of tech companies and tech workers out of San Francisco. Take a closer look at the factors contributing to the tech exodus, what it means for the future of San Francisco, and which cities are swallowing up Bay Area tech talent.
EVENTS
sf.citi regularly hosts large-scale, virtual (for the time being) events that bring tech, nonprofit, and policy leaders together to discuss topics affecting the tech industry and the greater San Francisco community.

“The public policy landscape moves so quickly in San Francisco. It’s really helpful when sf.citi brings in key decision makers right before legislation is completed or finalized because they hear us as one voice. For them to be able to hear us together makes an impact.”

Comcast
“I just want to take a moment to thank all of the folks at sf.citi who recognized in 2012 that we need to change the culture of getting engaged, the culture of the innovation economy by saying we are neighbors; we care about everyone who lives in our community.”
