Hack Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit for teenage hackers supported by Elon Musk, Tom Preston-Werner, Ron Conway, and other leaders in tech.
3 years ago Hack Club started a fiscal sponsor[0] for the teenagers in our nonprofit’s programs and built the full software stack in-house. You can see what it looks like here: https://bank.hackclub.com/hackpenn
It has made a tremendous difference in our community, and now 415 organizations doing about $2M in transactions a year run on it. Organizations range from high schoolers running hackathons to the local newspaper in the Vermont town I live in. We also encourage everyone to make their finances transparent[1], like we do.
We think there’s an opportunity to grow Hack Club Bank[2] and serve 10s of thousands of grassroots organizations across the US, and build it out as an open source project. We want it to feel like a public utility, along the lines of Wikipedia, or the Internet Archive, or the local public library.
Right now, Bank is in need of a technical product owner. We’re looking for someone who cares deeply about supporting do-gooders, gets open source, and is very product-oriented in nature. https://hackclub.com/jobs/lead-hacker/ has a full job description.
If you're interested in learning more, I would be happy to set up a confidential 15 minute call to meet and share a little more about the role and the product. My email is zach (at) hackclub.com.
