Give a Cluck means you are signing up to join the Hen House to play your part in closing the gender investment gap. Here are some actions we know that work. What will you do to help close the gap?
As an individual I’d like to help with the governance and policy/strategy of the hen house. And be a cheerleader along the way, amplifying messages and supporting female startups. I have already joined over a year ago, right at the very start of the henhouse. I can’t seem to renew so have joined again.
I will ensure Collaborative Futures takes all actions to close the gender investment gap.
- As a female co-founder of WillBits I am committed to human centred design of products, services, and collaborative and deliberately inclusive business operations. Intrinsically, these processes view every decision making experience through a gender lense. - Our organisation is well on the way to completing BCorp certification which includes formal gender equity metrics and reporting of employees, board members, contractors and suppliers. - Our our organisation has a track record of providing course credit internships and voluntary placements and mentorship opportunities. To date, 75% of our mentees have been young women. - At the moment we are pre-revenue. But we have formally mapped out our plans for future philanthtropy, beginning in 2021. This will include monetary activations to organisations such as ChooksSA, SheEO, Code Like A Girl and Catherine House.
