DYVVYD [div.vied/di.ver.si.fied], is the tech industry's 1st Diversity and Inclusion platform. Powered by A.I., DYVVYD accesses capital allocated for D&I working with VCs committed to funding female, minority/POC, LGBTQIA and older founders.
A huge thanks to the SF & Silicon Valley VC and Founder community, and specifically to Product Hunt for helping us amplify our mission.
Within the past 2 or so years in the industry, we all have watched the inevitable rise of amazing movements, hashtag causes, lists, initiatives and conversations surrounding diversity and equal representation in the hallowed halls of tech funding.
These are all fantastic platforms helping power awareness, however, this new initiative is stepping beyond the movement or online pledge and actively honing in on the issue of diversity and inclusion as a separate distinct thesis; a thesis that's sector agnostic with a dedicated and aggressive focus on representation, a thesis that's customized, and focused on founders' specific fundraising level and investors' specific deal flow.
We're getting founders directly infront of the money by placing startup teams right infront of the VCs who have allocated capital earmarked for diversity efforts, no warm intro or elite network required.
Some highlights of our current features while in Beta:
- Funneled deal flow to firms with allocated funding for D&I
- Personalized pitch videos with inbuilt engagement tools
- Curated Live! video sessions directly with VCs each week
- Curated funding tracks clustered via industry and funding level
- [In development] AI-driven user interface, customizable startup dashboard, ever-evolving feedback features powered by Machine Learning and more!
If you are a founder or belong to a startup team that's currently raising a round, grab one of only a few spots we have left open for the Product Hunt community. Let us know in the comments below why you think your startup is a great fit for the DYVVYD Beta.
For everyone else, we're here to answer your questions.
