The Importance of Racial Diversity in Startups
Gimlet realized they had a racial diversity problem, that there were not enough people of color working in the company. And as they started investigating that, they realized they had arguably a bigger problem, which was an ideological problem. They didn't see the problem the first time I was listening to the episode screaming at my car because I could see it as a network problem. To their credit, so again, this is the long, slow march of publishing. The diversity issue episode came out and they actually recently did an update where they were talking about how we've done some good things to increase diversity along sort of the lower levels of the organization.
