Endangered Developers Foundation
Building livelihoods in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
Millions of developers and knowledge workers face displacement as AI reshapes every industry. EDF exists to ensure they are not left behind.
We reskill, incubate, fund, and advocate — building new paths to prosperity in an AI-first world.
Our Mission
To help developers and white-collar professionals displaced by AI transition into new livelihoods — through reskilling, entrepreneurship support, and systemic advocacy.
