Digital Undivided was founded in 2012 by tech pioneer, Kathryn Finney as a social startup with 501(c)(3) status that merges data and heart to develop innovative programs and initiatives that catalyzes economic growth in Black and Latinx communities.
On this episode, we are joined by CEO, Lauren Maillian, who is a change agent committed to diversity, innovation, and inclusion. She explains that Digital Undivided is a non-profit social startup leading the shift towards inclusive innovation in both entrepreneurship and innovation across the industries. Lauren shares that the amount of women of color in the "million-dollar club" has more than doubled since 2018. However, looking back to their 2018 report, women of color raise on average $43,000 whereas their non-minority male counterparts raise on average $1.1 million.
Taking these stats and information Digital Undivided seeks to create larger conversations in the media, with tech companies, and DC firms, etc. to actively shift and shape the perception of women of color and their abilities/expertise. And their success stories are truly inspirational, check out their case studies here.
