A case for a third option, Brave’s thesis There have been two prevailing worldviews for the creation and consumption of technology – exploitative and ethical. Today, we introduce a third: Redemptive. Technology’s pervasive influence requires intentional and thoughtful engagement to ensure human flourishing.

A redemptive framework is crucial for technology’s responsible use and impact on culture. Brave is a faith-driven tech talent accelerator that aims to equip a new generation of talents with the theory and praxis of redemptive tech in software engineering, product design, and entrepreneurship.
