Feb. 25, 11 a.m. CT / 12 p.m. ET

In the second of a series of four DEI workshops, Greentown Labs and Aleria Research will be partnering to address common objections raised by investors and peers that have resulted in the failure to support diversity and inclusion efforts.

We will be providing detailed, specific tips on how to respond to these objections. We will also provide resources to help you overcome these objections to grow an inclusive, healthy and successful startup.
