Hi, I’m Neena R. Speer—lawyer, AI educator, and founder of The GPTurnip Society. I’ve just been accepted into the Chief Executive Officer Program at Columbia Business School—a prestigious 10-month leadership experience for those scaling bold, community-rooted ideas.

My bold idea?

Use AI to support elders—especially those 55 and older—who are often left behind in the tech space.

I’ve watched my own elders navigate a world of voice prompts, confusing websites, and digital systems not built with them in mind. That’s not just inconvenient—it’s isolating.

But what if AI could be different?

I believe we can build AI tools that are elder-friendly, culturally aware, and actually helpful. This program will give me the tools, mentorship, and global platform to lead that charge with clarity and sustainability.

I’m raising $30,000 to cover the cost of tuition. Every contribution will help me:

Research and design AI systems with elders in mind

Facilitate workshops on tech confidence for older adults

Advocate for digital equity in spaces where policy meets innovation

This GoFundMe is about access and opportunity.

It’s about ensuring our elders don’t get left behind in the next wave of technology—and that they are seen as valuable knowledge holders, not digital outsiders.

If this resonates with you, I’d love your support—whether that’s a donation, sharing this with your community, or simply keeping me in your prayers and encouragement.

Thank you for believing in legacy, in learning, and in lifting each other up.

With deep gratitude,

Neena R. Speer, Esq.

Founder of The GPTurnip Society
