Join us on May 15 in San Francisco for the launch of the Diversity Data Alliance in conversation with the authors of SB-54! 🎟️ https://lu.ma/jw36aadz For the last year, StartOut has been working alongside a group of our peers on a new initiative to build the new standard for diversity data collection in VC and startups. We’re excited to share our work in San Francisco on May 15, where we’ll be joined by one of the authors of the new SB-54 bill that will require VCs to begin reporting on the diversity of their portfolio founders starting in 2025. We’ll be discussing the hurdles the DDA and SB-54 still face, as well as what we can all do to help. We’ll see you there! In partnership with 2Gether-International, All Raise, BLCK VC, Diversity VC, SomosVC, and Vets In Tech
