High Technology + Accelerator Firms Shine a Spotlight on Diverse Founders

April 23, 2019 By The BloomShift Team

Techstars Had Aggressive Goals to Highlight Diverse Founders

The Techstars Startup Programs team was committed to telling the story of diverse startup founders. And for the last decade, they had been running the world-renown Startup Weekend program to inspire new generations to ‘learn, network, startup.’

As they refined their programs, a new partnership with Grow With Google was formed and their narrative needed to incorporate diversity and showcase the New Majority founders who who are forming new startups through their program. They also partnered with InnovateCoalition to help implement the program locally and expand into the deaf community, and WeWork Labs to share their creative space.

So, they came BloomShift with a challenge — to help Grow With Google highlight diverse entrepreneurs coming through the program, and integrating the deaf community.

The Tactical Support Solution Was the Perfect Fit

Once we reviewed their partnership outcomes, we worked closely with Techstars to implement a Tactical Support solution to highlight diverse entrepreneurs at their next Washington, D.C. program.

Our goal was to not only give their sponsor a diverse selection of entrepreneurs, but also to create clear, strategic storytelling mediums for visitors to participate in future Startup Weekend programs.

Creating Stories Around Diverse Entrepreneurs

The resulting stories for Techstars’ report married our expertise in creative storytelling with their vetted 54-hour programming.
