Diversity Spotlight is a feature on Crunchbase that indicates if there is diversity in an organization’s leadership team. For startups, this includes Founders and CEO's. For investment firms, this refers to Managing Partners.
In search, you can filter companies by those who have individuals that identify with a diverse background on their founding and leadership team.
Additionally, you can filter investment firms that have diverse founders & partners as well as having made diverse investments.
Note, this data point will only capture information on U.S. based companies only. If you notice your company is missing diversity spotlight tags, learn how to add them to your profile here!
