Reclaiming Wealth, Ownership & Participation in Tech
Philadelphia Tech Week · Thursday, May 7 · 3:30 - 6:30 PM
Fitler Club · Philadelphia
Innovation builds companies.
RE:WEALTH explores how more of us can participate in investing, ownership, and the future of wealth in tech.
Why This Event
A Broader Conversation About Wealth in Tech
RE:WEALTH is a cross-sector gathering during Philadelphia Tech Week exploring how more people can participate in the vast innovation, investing opportunities, and wealth in tech.
While much of the tech ecosystem focuses on building companies, RE:WEALTH expands the conversation to include the pathways through which we participate in a ecosystem we have more proximity to and ability to influence than we are led to believe.
This event is a space for honest conversations about investing, ownership, and participation — and addressing the systems at the root of our feeling of exclusion.
The Core Questions
- Who participates in the wealth building in tech?
- What are all the pathways that exist for us to obtain ownership, equity, and income in tech?
- How do we go about accessing investing ecosystems that fit within our own values?
- How can we be a greater part or our own future through more engaged economic participation?
Who Should Attend
Built for Cross-Sector Thinkers
RE:WEALTH is meant to hold space and together people working across multiple sectors and disciplines.

Speakers
Voices Across Disciplines
RE:WEALTH brings together practitioners, investors, and innovators whose work lives at the intersection of wealth, ownership, and access. For Philly Tech Week, 2026, our line up brings thought leadership from corporate venture, entrepreneurship, community-based real estate, and more.
We are deeply honored to have the following speakers at RE:WEALTH PTW; each bringing vast and deep perspectives from their beautifully intersectional careers.
A Note on Intention
What RE:WEALTH Is Not
RE:WEALTH is a curated space. To protect the integrity of the room, please consider what this event is not designed for:
Transactional Networking
If you’re here to collect contacts or pitch your product, this is not that kind of room.
Diversity Box Checking
This is not a performative space. We do not exist to check boxes or satisfy optics.
Sanctum Foundation’s in-person gatherings are curated with care. We root into Black and Indigenous wisdom, which centers community, lived experience, and practices that prioritize collective growth. We design these spaces to support meaningful connection, shared insight, and relationships that extend beyond a single event.
