Diversity Atlas
We made business news around the world after announcing a bridge funding round of $6 million (AUD) from Canadian funding platform Gener8 VC to support the commercial growth of our world-leading diversity data analytics platform Diversity Atlas. This boost will allow us to reach many more customers, helping us fulfil our mission to create global harmony through intercultural action, so keep an eye on this space!
Diversity Atlas is an incredibly versatile tool that provides insight into cultural and demographic diversity like no other, the only holistic tool of its kind on the market. Read this recently published article by our founder to learn about ‘Holistic Data and Its Role in Undoing Racism’.
Did you know we successfully ran Diversity Atlas in middle and secondary school classrooms around Melbourne many times during its beta phase? Students loved seeing the snapshot of their cultural composition, which the platform provides. Thank you to the teachers and schools that facilitated these visits.
There is no more relevant way to support the intercultural understanding components of the school curriculum than engaging students via their own cultural backgrounds and using this as a springboard for greater appreciation of the rich diversity within their own classroom, much of it usually hidden.
If you are curious about how to safely and securely map the diversity of your classroom or other sizeable group of people using disaggregated, anonymised and customisable data, book a demo today!
