As I’ve mentioned many times before there is no innovation without diversity.
I would love to see that supported. These things are parroted around a lot, always in relation to race. Is it true? Should VC's only fund companies with multi-cultural founders?
I'm pretty sure that it's most definitely not.
- pedalpete 17y agoI believe if you asked mother nature, she would say there is no live without diversity. The quote may not be directed strictly at business innovation, but you find that in most environments, the rule is true, therefore why would a business be different. As an example, we would agree that a diversity of skills is necessary to business success. You need a leader, a coder, a designer, a marketer, etc. Where this becomes true when related to race and culture is in bringing different view points and ways of thinking. However, I believe the most important thing is that we get beyond race as a differentiator. I don't believe that the color of a persons skin affects their work. Are we trying to have it both ways, where we say 'skin color doesn't matter', and at the same time saying 'mixing race is good for innovation'? I'm confusing myself on this one.
