Customer Problem
Unconscious bias hurts underrepresented professionals in a number of ways, from a lack of encouragement from friends and colleagues to a lack of mentors or to a lack of funding from investors. Creating a solid personal network is critical to business and career success. Few people are natural networkers, but majority of people sit at their desk, alone, scrolling through their phone, wondering who to meet and how to create meaningful lasting professional relationships.
