About Us
Our Story
LGBTech was founded in 2011 by Shachar Grembek, a tech and social entrepreneur. While coming out of the closet at work, he faced challenges that made him realize that the work environment in Israel has a long way to go.
He decided to start a journey to make the workforce more diverse and inclusive for the LGBT+ community.
Our Vision
At LGBTech, we imagine a future where LGBT+ employees are able to bring 100% of themselves to work.
We fight for diversity and inclusion for lesbian, gay, bi, trans, and queer (LGTB+) people in the workforce by promoting public policy changes, working hand-in-hand with global and local companies, and supporting our community.
