Why you should attend TC Sessions: Justice this Wednesday

Along with our main stage content with Arlan Hamilton, Representative Barbara Lee, Bo Young Lee, and Tracy Chou, we'll have several sessions happening concurrently from partners like Latinx Startup Alliance, StartOut, Black Female Founders and Onshape:

StartOut: The Impact of Out LGBTQ+ Entrepreneurs

StartOut and Socos Lab are excited to announce the Inclusion Impact Indexes. Its first iteration; the StartOut Pride Economic Impact Index quantifies the economic value of under-utilized LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. The project looks at entrepreneurs’ economic impact in terms of job creation, patents, financings, and exits in the U.S. Our agenda will be a brief introduction, a demo of the index and its current findings, and a Q&A discussion with the publishers of the index.

Onshape: Fireside Chat – Diversity Is More Than Hiring People of Color

It may appear that the country is accepting change – from racial diversity to equality in the workplace. However, we still have ways to go. For example, organizational diversity is still about hiring from diverse talent pools. In reality, to activate the full potential of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requires more than a “people strategy.” Robust and sustainable work in this area requires embedding DEI principles, policies, systems, and practices into all parts of the business, including the employee and customer experience, brand culture, and overall industry/corporate citizenship.

Latinx Startup Alliance: Latinx Founders Leading with Inclusion 

Meet Latinx Founders who are leading with inclusion through diverse teams and/or supporting a diverse mission, inclusion is a part of their DNA.

Black Female Founders: Black Female Unicorns in the Making

With all of the economic and racial disparities that have become so pronounced, this timely session will unpack the skills, tools and networks required along every stage of this journey. We will also share insights on what role policy, philanthropy and civic organizations might play in helping to address the systemic challenges, roadblocks and obstacles that have historically served as barriers.

Join TechCrunch and our partners as we explore these impactful topics this Wednesday. Secure your seat today!
