Academy of Art University President Elisa Stephens released the following statement about the initiative:

"In order to attract high-tech companies to San Francisco, we have to prepare workers with the skills they need to step in and help these companies thrive immediately. Education is a critical component to growing the technology sector here and we look forward to working with sf.citi to ensure that as a community we are doing everything possible to produce a skilled workforce. We are proud to represent the education community and to stand with our friends from the tech industry in supporting Mayor Lee's mission to make San Francisco the Innovation Capitol of the World."
