Ever wondered why the best ideas often come from people in communities who are often overlooked? In the tech world, underrepresented founders often face significant hurdles. That's why programs like 1Philadelphia's Early Validation Academy are game-changers. Last summer, they launched a program specifically to support underrepresented tech founders in identifying and validating their core business problems. Take for instance, an aspiring entrepreneur from a marginalized background, who may have an innovative idea but lacks the resources and network to test and refine it. This program offered not just mentorship but also hands-on training and a chance to pitch to investors, culminating in a $10,000 equity-free grant for selected startups. This initiative highlights the importance of equitable support systems in fostering innovation and diversity in the tech industry. Do you think more initiatives like 1Philadelphia's Early Validation Academy are needed to support underrepresented founders? #ideas • #validation #lomay24

According to Lean In's "State of Latinas in Corporate America" report, Latinas hold only 1% of senior executive positions and 4% of professional managerial roles. Latinas are losing the most ground across the leadership pipeline, facing multiple obstacles along the way. This underrepresentation highlights the urgent need for targeted support and actionable strategies to promote Latina leadership and workplace equity. ❗️State of Latinas Report: https://lnkd.in/garxynR2 This year I'm helping organize Lean In Latinas' 2024 Take Charge Conference and we're dedicated to addressing these disparities. Spend a day engaging in sessions focused on career strategies, mindset development, and leadership. Take Charge is designed to empower Latinas, foster networking, and promote advancement and fairness in the workplace. Take Charge Conference: https://lnkd.in/gYVXefNP 🌟 August 9th / Mountain View, CA 🌟 Early Bird Tickets close June 30! 🎟 🌟 Can't make it?

🎙️ Super excited to share my recent conversation with Corey Quinn 🎯 on The Deep Specialization Podcast! From leading E2M for over a decade, I've learned invaluable lessons about building and scaling a successful agency.

I also discuss our pivotal shift from project-based fees to unlimited services with fixed costs, a game-changer that accelerated our growth.

🌇 💡NY Tech Week Musings: 3 Days, 3 Thoughts:🗽🚀 Hey everyone, we're halfway through the adrenaline-fueled ride that is New York Tech Week, and boy, do I have 3 thoughts to share! 1) 🌍🤝 Connection Cravings Are Off the Charts With over 200 official events today alone (June 5, 2024), it's clear that people are hungry for networking. I mean, most events are so packed, you can barely squeeze in! It's amazing to see founders and investors from all over the world coming together. The global tech community is truly something special. 2) 🎉🗣️ The Great Networking Paradox Is it just me, or do some of these "networking" events make it nearly impossible to actually network? I feel like I'm shouting over the music half the time! 🎧😅 I love a good party, but maybe we could tone it down a notch and actually hear each other speak? 😆 3) 🌇🔍 NYC Tech Scene: Untapped Potential Alert Chatting with NYC folks, I keep hearing the same thing: we need a better way to stay connected beyond Tech Week.💡 There's so much potential here, and it's up to us to build the community we want to see. 🛠️🌍 So, fellow tech enthusiasts, let's not just network – let's build something awesome together! 🚀 If you're down to create a community that goes beyond a single week, hit me up. I'm all ears (and excited to see what we can create)! 😄✨ #NYTechWeek #newyork #techweek #networking #community I think the video here from one of the events yesterday is a great illustration of the overall spirit of the NYC Tech Week 👇

Odds are, your company is looking at #AI wrong. Bob Violino's recent CNBC story, featuring commentary from Sreekanth Menon from Genpact and data from a recent HFS Research and Genpact report says, executing on an AI strategy that actually drives value requires: ❌ Not focusing on the quick wins ✅ Establishing a clear view of responsible AI Great to collaborate with Bob on this story! 😊
