We’re wrapping up #diversity month over here! Let’s take a look at what we’ve learned, shall we?
We kicked off with a post on
things to consider as you build an inclusive org. The wildly experienced @LaFawn is so free with her knowledge – Great ideas in here. https://operatorcollective.com/4-things-to-consider-as-you-design-an-inclusive-org/

#DEI has evolved over the years from a singular focus on #diversity to a multifaceted focus on #inclusion. @LaFawn explains why in this short clip

Then @AmbrosiaVert makes the case for why we should never compromise on a diverse executive team. Don’t take shortcuts – Make the effort, people! https://twitter.com/OperatorCollect/status/1326919672156082176
As @tray’s Head of Talent notes, “There’s a huge amount of evidence showing that diversity unlocks innovation and drives growth, which should only intensify efforts to ensure your executive staff embodies and embraces the power of differences.” https://operatorcollective.com/operator-spotlight-talent-leader-michael-kieran/
It was a good time to kick-off the first cohort of the @BlckVentureInst. These 50 fellows truly inspired us to continue to #RiseTheTide in #VentureCapital and beyond

Next a message from LP @adblanche, who reminds us that it’s never too late to move forward with #DEI. Amen to that! https://twitter.com/OperatorCollect/status/1328781701447884806
“Bad behavior is poison to your organization.” –

Our founder @Mallun Yen brings us back to our own fund, built from the ground up with a focus on #diversity – in our LPs, communities, AND portfolio companies

And here’s @LaFawn again
Her calming voice reminds us to always keep #accessibility in mind when thinking about ways to build an inclusive org. https://twitter.com/OperatorCollect/status/1331251781515534342

We’ve LOVED diving deep into #diversity and #inclusion this month! Stay with us next month as we talk about #philanthropy and building an org that values #empathy and giving back.
