DEIA

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) initiatives focus on fostering a workplace culture that values and respects differences among individuals. These programs are not handouts. They aim to create equitable opportunities for all employees through merit-based hiring strategies in broader candidate pools, ensuring everyone feels included and empowered. By promoting diverse perspectives, organizations can drive innovation and enhance collaboration. Ultimately, DEIA initiatives contribute to a more inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Disabled Business Owners

Disabled venture capital investment seekers "may be up to 400 times less likely to enjoy success than their non-disabled counterparts," according to a new report from Acces2Funding, an organization dedicated to amplifying the experiences of disabled founders as they navigate the venture capitalist ecosystem. The results are from the U.K., where disabled or neurodiverse individuals operate some 25% of small businesses. The report’s authors additionally noted that 90% of disabled entrepreneurs expressed the belief that they have not been treated equally to nondisabled business owners pursuing investment.
