Tyrance Billingsley II is a Tulsa-born and raised entrepreneur, technologist and ecosystem builder. Tyrance is the founder and executive director of Black Tech Street, an organization dedicated to rebirthing historic Black Wall Street as the nation's premiere black innovation economy rooted in the critical technology areas of cybersecurity, data analytics and responsible artificial intelligence.

Under his leadership, Black Tech Street has, in just three years, brokered a citywide alliance with Microsoft to establish 21st-century Greenwood and, as a leader in cyber and AI, served on the Tulsa Tech Hub steering committee that secured both a federal Tech Hubs designation and funding from the Economic Development Administration, with an eight-figure award being allocated to Black Tech Street's work, and generated widespread community support for the vision of rebirthing Black Wall Street through technology.

His thought leadership on AI and emerging technologies has led to him testifying before the United States Senate HELP committee on AI and the Future of Work, attending the historic signing of the AI Executive Order at the White House, addressing a caucus meeting on AI and civil rights, and hosting the White House National Cyber Director Harry Coker Jr. and his team in historic Greenwood.
