Startups don’t run without people: How to prioritise culture, diversity, equity, and inclusion from the start
Event description
In this Creative HQ Session, Lauren Peate will share her winding journey into the startup world and the experiences she's had around the world which showed her why culture & DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) should be at the core of any startup.
