Diversity
About
→ 6,1% of all venture capital is allocated mixed teams - 92,6% goes to all male teams. This has been largely stagnant since 2017. (Unconventional Ventures)
→ 62,8% of ethnic minorities in Denmark say they experience discrimination at their job in the form of comments and jokes about their ethnic heritage, skin colour, language, or religion. (Lige Adgang)
Much is being done to increase diversity and inclusion in the startup ecosystem. This initiative is us doing our part. We’re working to tear down barriers and welcome underrepresented founders in our community - there’s plenty of room.
Diversity Week 2024
→ Feb. 5-9th
Diversity Week is a full week where we'll zoom in on - you guessed it - diversity. This year, we're unfolding the diversity term to go beyond gender. As we and partners host events and meetups, we hope to go deep into the many facetted, complex, and important aspects of diversity.
We'll kickstart a conversation about the challenges and the solutions - both the solutions, we can implement in our daily lives and the structural changes, we all can and should push for.
We invite underrepresented founders, community members, and allies, wanting to learn how we can create a more inclusive startup community.
The events will drop sporadicly, so stay tuned!
