Upcoming Workshops & Webinars

Each month we provide startups with opportunities to participate in workshops and webinars on topics related to diversity and inclusion. We encourage everyone to start with our Better Startup Workshops, which provide a general overview of our unique approach to the value of D&I for entrepreneurs. Alternatively, you can watch one of our pre-recorded workshops below. Our webinars then provide deep-dives into specific topics. We hope to see you there!
