Community starts with YOU!
We are an open-source purpose-built vector database for secure, stateful, explainable generative AI applications.
Weaviate Hero Program at a Glance
The Weaviate Hero Program was brought to life to appreciate, recognize & celebrate members in our Community who contribute and engage in ways that make our Community “a great and safe place where people can learn, make friends, and grow. A place for giving and receiving.”
And who ultimately develop and share practices that help individuals in the group thrive. With this global program, we enable members to accelerate their knowledge, skills, and growth in the areas of Vector Databases, Search, and AI-native applications and become thought leaders through their activities and initiatives across the Weaviate Ecosystem.
The Why
By introducing a company-wide program we adhere to our open-source nature of being transparent, open, and supportive of knowledge sharing. We believe that a culture of giving and sharing leads to better and open innovation and contributes to a great AI landscape and ecosystem.
A Fun Fact
This program actually started with our internal Weaviate Hero initiative - where our employees can give shout-outs to co-workers who helped them strive and be successful. We believe that community starts inside the company and we would love to give some of this great experience back to our community!
