Here's how you can foster diversity and inclusion within your venture capital team.
Don’t DIY this. Engage authentic and effective outside resources to advise on and implement action and then evaluate effectiveness. If you are not already a diverse team, and you don’t have significant diversity in your leadership suite that is trained on how to do this kind of work, thinking you’re going to build an inclusive culture de novo and on your own is a fools errand.
