CRT Startup Revival

November 2026

Vator and We Over Me will be sponsoring and hosting the next: Culture, Religion, and Technology (CRT) Startup Revival in November 2026.

CRT Startup Revival is a new event gathering innovators who embrace traditional Christian values as the cornerstone of their new technologies.  

While in the past, sharing one’s faith in Silicon Valley was borderline illegal, as Vanity Fair put it, increasingly it’s become pretty clear that there is a Christian revival underway. Given the Valley’s reputation as the driving engine of innovation around the world, influencing how products are made, it also has an ability to transform culture and values. That’s what we want to tap into. Not just how people are innovating, but why? What’s the moral impetus behind their product or service? 

Culture, Religion & Technology is a podcast and event series that embraces the freedom to share our faith in places we’ve normally remained reticent - in business, politics, education and of course the tech world of startups. This started in 2021 with Peter Thiel as our founding keynote speaker. We’ve said from the start that we’re all religious. Religion underlines everything we do. Hence we’d rather embrace Christianity vs secularism or woke ideologies.

Now CRT Startup Revival will focus solely on startups and the venture capitalists funding them. But unlike any startup conference, Christian values matter.  

We’ll be hosting our first event in Nashville in September 2026. In the meantime, we’ll be gathering our speakers to focus on the future of healthcare, media, education and more.

AGENDA

Registration! Welcome and Opening remarks - Paul Martino and Bambi Francisco Roizen (CRT event founders)

The future of healthcare - Description: Let’s get back to patient-centered care. DEI, scientific dogmatism and centralized healthcare ideas have negatively impacted society’s overall well-being. Too much money is spent on talk therapy and vaccines. What are new healthcare approaches that understand the body’s natural healing mechanisms and what are new approaches to solve critical problems such as Alzheimer’s.

The future of education - Description: Let’s get back to the basics! There’s been an erosion of academic rigor as schools have fostered political activism and social division. AI is also changing the skillsets that matter in the future. How should education be structured? What should kids be learning? How does tomorrow’s education system look like?

The future of media - Description: There is no doubt that media is broken. Ideologically, the mainstream media outlets are mouthpieces for their particular politics. Many in society rely on multiple sources of news to get their facts. But a large portion of the population still gets manipulated. How does media get back to the middle?
