What true inclusivity requires

I've been doing some reading to prepare for moderating a panel on "Inclusive Entrepreneurship and the Future" at Philly Tech Week. I am excited to join Uva Coles from Spring Point Partners, Nikisha Bailey from Nvak Collective and Armand Biroonak from UBS for this discussion. Our panel will be following a new Technically report on what is and isn't working to make a more inclusive entrepreneurial community.

 

In my reading, I came across an insightful article by my Delaware-based Technical.ly teammate Holly Quinn, who is based in the Delaware market. Her article raises important questions about the role policymakers, council members, entrepreneurs and corporations play in supporting these ventures. It includes our CEO Chris Wink's interview with GoDaddy senior director Stacy Cline, who explained that creating a more inclusive entrepreneurial community takes all of us working together.

 

Will I see you at the Technical.ly Builders Conference? If so, we'll have a short Q&A portion in which we can expand on this necessary conversation.
