Sf.citi

The San Francisco Citizens Initiative for Technology and Innovation, or sf.citi, is a 501(c)6 non-profit organization that advocates for the technology community in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1][2] At least 500 member companies, including many in the technology sector such as Google, Facebook, Zynga, and Salesforce.com, are supporters of sf.citi.[3]

sf.citi created a video advocating for the passing of Proposition E in the 2012 San Francisco General Elections that was featured on the homepage of Youtube.com on October 9, 2012.[4] The video featured Twitter chairman Jack Dorsey, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, and Twitter and Obvious Corp. co-founder Biz Stone.[5]

On March 31, 2014, sf.citi became involved in the public debate around the tech bus pilot program created by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency by releasing a statement supporting the program.[6]

The chairman of the board of directors of sf.citi is Ron Conway, a technology investor in Silicon Valley, California.[7]
