SEATTLE, Nov. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pioneering the DEI tech market, Included is demonstrating rapid customer acquisition using AI to unlock speed to data on diversity, delivering sophisticated insights to help companies make strategic decisions about their employee recruitment and retention programs.
In short: Today's HR Tech cannot fulfill the demand for DEI data-based solutions. To solve the DEI tech shortage, Included has raised $1.9M in pre-seed funding from FlyingFish, SignalFire, and Ascend.
Raghu Gollamudi, CEO & Co-founder of Included, is mission-driven to create better workplaces globally. Gollamudi believes DEI isn't a tax, PR issue, or feel-good checkbox - but an opportunity to build better and more people-first businesses everywhere.
"Our first customers were amazed when we surfaced significant demographic trends in their people data that even their executives did not know about," says Chandan Golla, co-founder and Chief Product Officer. "That's our priority - delivering actionable data on DEI to each customer."
"I am so confident we made the right decision choosing Included. The data-driven, metrics-first approach to DEI goal setting and measurement perfectly match our commitment to DEI progress," says Mary Miller VP of People at Amperity.

"Data collection methods were designed at a time and place when it was considered unimportant to tell the diversity story of our workforces. The world has changed and now the demand for this capability is high, which is really encouraging," says Laura Close, Co-Founder of Included. "However, existing technology makes obtaining data incredibly difficult, which is why we've created a solution that gives you instant, beautiful reports and insights."
