KEYNOTE
Building Inclusive Tech Companies That Actually Matter
Artificial intelligence is dismantling the traditional gatekeepers of entrepreneurship: capital access, geographic advantage, institutional networks, formal credentials. Marcus shows how this shift creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for communities that institutions have consistently underestimated, and what it means for the leaders, companies, and investors who get there first.
INSIDE THE TALK
How a product built for families with a loved one inside grew into a business serving institutions, and what that says about markets others called too small to matter.
Marcus separates compliance theater from the decisions that actually widen a company's talent pool, customer base, and product insight.
The research and product practices that keep teams from building solutions nobody in the community asked for.
What inclusive culture looks like in hiring loops, promotion criteria, and everyday operating rhythm rather than in a policy document.
