“It really is incredible how many ideas (there are) and people who want to put it all on the line,” Clark said. “It took us weeks to dig out of the first wave of responses and then we got into our groove.” @atleeclark
P.S. we’re hiring!

“It drives me mad when people say, ‘that’s such a nice initiative.’ It's not a nice initiative, there isn’t anything nice about it. We see value there that we think other people haven't seen; if other people want to overlook that value then their loss is our gain” @lynseythornton

“The goal, members of the group told Insider, is to bring opportunity
to those who typically get left out due to implicit biases and lack of
opportunity.”
Thank you for sharing our story, @MadelineLStone @BusinessInsider!
