CTA Bows ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ Working Group to Serve ‘Underrepresented'

CTA formed a 40-member “diversity and inclusion” working group to “create greater access and mobility for traditionally underrepresented communities,” said the association Thursday. The working group’s mission statement includes positioning the consumer tech industry “as a leading contributor in creating a diverse and inclusive tech ecosystem,” said CTA. Two venture firms, Rethink Impact and Founders First Capital Partners, will receive undisclosed money from CTA’s $10 million diversity and inclusion war chest for their track records of investing in women, ethnic minorities, veterans and other underserved demographics, said the association.
