Looking into diversifying workforces while keeping remote work cultures inclusive, along with some data industry figures and creators economy shenaningans.

One of the most efficient ways to build a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture in your company is to start with the purpose of serving a certain type of people. This community-centric approach is now everywhere but it wasn't always the case.

For us, it has always been to help founders succeed at Tech events.

Another critical approach is to facilitate remote work. Again, something a lot more popular nowadays but still hard to implement. Not everyone can afford living in Paris, so hiring here tends to bias towards uniform talent.

Thanks to Suzanne and Dan for suggesting some great pieces.

*All Raise measures the number of decision-makers in venture capital, defined as "checkwriters" who can write checks, lead deals and sit on boards.
