DigitalC is a nonprofit technology social enterprise headquartered in Cleveland that has built and now operates America’s fastest-growing community-based broadband network.

In only 18 months, we completed the buildout of a citywide network and connected thousands of households, establishing what is now recognized nationally as The Cleveland Model.

Our mission is to bridge the digital divide—for good—by pairing world-class infrastructure with the systems and support residents need to fully participate in the digital age.
