An Interview With CODE2040, A Non-Profit Out To Diversify Silicon Valley

I had a chance to discuss an amazing new non-profit program called CODE2040 with one of its founders today, Laura Weidman Powers. The mission of this program is to bring diversity to Silicon Valley by bringing in talented minorities who are in school to Silicon Valley for the summer, mentoring them and find inhem positions with companies. The non-profit is the brain-child of Tristan Walker, current EIR at VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, and formerly of foursquare. The list of board members and mentors are nothing short of impressive.
