About the Platform

Alternative Tech is a Vancouver-based movement platform dedicated to shifting the trajectory of modern technology. Founded in 2026 by a former Big Tech software engineer, the platform provides infrastructure for civic action, a curated "Idea Bank" for human-centric technology, and a home for long-form dissent.

The platform centers the voices of those most affected by technological extraction—educators, caregivers, and community organizers—and intervenes in critical policy moments, such as the current "Sovereign AI" infrastructure developments in British Columbia.
