Starting a FAITHTECH Labs Project

A Labs partner is anyone who has experienced or seen a problem in their community, city, ministry, mission, charity or church. You have a desire to see tech leveraged by a volunteer team to solve this problem. 

You may represent a Church, Mission Organisation, Charity, or you may be a person with a passion to see a particular problem solved in Jesus’ name. 

FaithTech labs projects aim to solve problems for:

• Marginalized Communities.
• The Local Church.
• The spreading of the Gospel. 

Many problems touch more than one of these, but we are laser focused on these three areas. 

We have a range of opportunities for problem pitches:

• Through our regular local community meetups. 
• Through the FaithTech Online Community.
• Through our local and Global Labs events such as Hackathons and Innovation Sprints. 

Through any of these, we have provide opportunities for projects to be pitched to the FaithTech community. You’ll hear more about this at the webinar!

FaithTech Labs are volunteer-led teams, so we can’t give guarantees that any specific problem or pitch will be picked up. Projects that come from a highly enaged partner that regularly attends FaithTech meetups have much higher chance of teams forming. Relationship is what makes it work!

Our most successful projects have great engagement from our Partners. FaithTech starts in community, and that’s the model we place around our project teams. We want to see relationships built, people learning together, and amazing products built alongside this. 

Alongside relationship and community, partners are key in helping teams get through a thorough discovery process, understanding the problem and the way your organisation or community might be able to implement solutions. 

To find out more, and take your next steps to pitching your project to the FaithTech Community, join one of our short, regular Partner Webinars. You’ll get an opportunity to ask Questions and find out more from the team.
