I wrote a primer on working/hiring in UK tech from an #immigration perspective and felt obliged to post here as a passive egg in case someone stumbles on it and saves themselves some pain: https://t.co/Qv0zInqL16
This panel with @cansudb@NapalaPratini@samiaqader and @MorrowAli was spot on.
We need more female partners just as much as we need female founders. And we need more diversity of thought, background, & gender to bring fewer assumptions and more educated arguments to the table.
Grateful to Gabriella Gomez-Mont @cansudb and @RobynScott for their fabulous contributions on the role of design alongside leadership and trustworthy/participatory approaches public services. Many thanks to @L_D_F and @V_and_A for hosting this.

My fab colleague @Dama_Yanthy talks about how we interpret D&I @bg_ventures, comes with a nifty list of diversity and tech initiatives. Super lucky to work with and learn from her!
I wrote a rather long 😅blog post about #diversity & #inclusion at @bg_ventures.
But in this blog we look at our collective efforts (this team 😍) to increase founder diversity, and at BGV's own team diversity and perception thereof. Read the post below & let me know your 💭
Talk is cheap, numbers slightly less so. Check out @bg_ventures impact report and see how we’re:
- Helping #TechForGood founders build a better world
- Delivering top-tier returns
- Championing diversity and inclusion
- Fueling the #TechForGood Movement https://t.co/TIidoBUhHp
