My Kaleida business card says CEO & Founder but we are a Black Founded Tech startup. In a world of inequality are ‘noun’ Founders right to complain about labels when Equity is being offered?
I recently read a post that disagreed with my perspectives around the (un)conscious bias ‘noun’ Founders experience in the real world.
It called for the ‘noun’ to be dropped.
😡 I’m not a ‘noun’ founder.
😡 I’m not a ‘noun’ entrepreneur, the post said.
Until there is #equality are ‘noun’ founders right to complain when #equity is being offered?
Nouns:
• Minority owned
• Woman owned
• Disabled owned
• LGBTQ+ owned
• Veteran owned
• Neurodiverse owned
🦚 Equality simply means everyone is treated the same exact way, regardless of need or any other individual difference.
🦚Equity, on the other hand, means everyone is provided with what they need to succeed.
