Federation Launches JTech

JTech launched in 2023 to create a dedicated community for Jewish professionals across Atlanta’s growing technology sector. The group brings together professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, service providers, and others connected to the tech industry for networking, learning, and meaningful engagement with Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta. At the time, JTech was co-chaired by Mitchell Kopelman and Dorrie Paradies.

Since its launch, JTech has created opportunities for members of Atlanta’s tech community to build relationships, hear from industry leaders, exchange ideas, and deepen their connection to Jewish Atlanta.

JTech held its inaugural event in May 2023 at the offices of Nelson Mullins. David Zalik, Co-Head of Merchant Point-of-Sale Lending with Goldman Sachs and co-founder of The Zalik Foundation, was interviewed by co-chair Mitchell Kopelman.

The attendees were excited to hear directly from David Zalik about his experiences as an entrepreneur, his advice to those starting out, and what his mentors taught him over the years. They also learned about his personal connection to Federation and how the Zalik Foundation works with the Federation. “We’re very proud to partner with Federation. The Atlanta Jewish Federation has been the community leader, community organizer, community connector for our Jewish community. We are passionate about what Atlanta Jewish Federation provides as the central nervous system and the heart and soul of this Jewish community.”

JTech is proud to provide outstanding networking and learning opportunities while engaging new people in the work of Federation.

Today, JTech continues to bring together Jewish professionals across Atlanta’s technology community through networking, learning, and community engagement.
