At LINGO, we're passionate about showing students that STEM can be for everyone. 🙌
Founder @arbowe is a former @NASA rocket scientist that started her career in a community college, so sought to create products that show students that STEM careers are a possibility for them too.
@hpierrejacques I tell people something similar. I believe underrepresented Founders more often than not have the skill sets and experiences to make them the best at solving tough problems.
For those who need to know.
Me: We invest in diverse founders
Someone: Why don’t you just invest in the best founders?
Me: I do. Why do you think they aren’t the best?
Someone: Hmm???
Happy Monday.
