RefactorGVL is a nonprofit that helps power the Upstate’s growing tech community. They give local organizers, volunteers, and tech leaders the support they need so they can focus on what matters most. Building community. Sparking innovation. Helping people grow.

They support two of the region’s most active tech groups, HackGreenville and UpWiSE, along with a steady lineup of meetups, workshops, and community events. Through that support, RefactorGVL helps connect professionals at every skill level and creates more opportunities for learning, collaboration, and real career development.

Their approach is simple. Enable community rather than control it. RefactorGVL handles the behind the scenes work like banking, tax filings, and organizational infrastructure so grassroots leaders can do more of the work they love. The result is a stronger, more inclusive tech ecosystem where people can learn, contribute, and find their place.

With thousands of engaged members and dozens of events each year, RefactorGVL is helping shape the Upstate’s tech future by making it easier for people to show up, get connected, and grow.
