What Our Team Has to Say
Our team is buzzing with excitement about GHC, and we wanted to share their enthusiasm with you. Here’s what some of our amazing colleagues have to say:
“I don't think you can find a more inclusive work environment -- and one that supports women in tech -- anywhere else. HiHello proves that it is possible to prioritize hiring for both diversity and talent at an earlier-stage startup, and I see proof of it every day when collaborating with my wonderful co-workers. I've worked at other startups before, and unfortunately, operating this way isn't always the norm, especially on the smaller scale. Our presence at GHC underscores our commitment to these values and normalizing them within the tech community.” - Suzanne J., Stanford University ‘20
“Supporting and advocating for women in tech has been an important mission to me throughout my education and career. At HiHello, I feel empowered to further advocate for this cause because of our values and commitment to inclusivity.” - Dakota S., Rochester Institute of Technology ‘20
“I have always been committed to supporting women in tech throughout my career, and I’m grateful to be part of a team that fosters this mission by providing the environment, resources, and support to make it possible. Our participation in GHC this year reflects this dedication, and I’m excited to be a part of it!” Amy K., University of Waterloo ‘22
