So happy for this startup. Love seeing the rise of CharityWare more and more in startups.

@rhoehn Thanks Robert! Hopefully we'll see a lot more startups join the giving back movement in the near future!
I grew up building (and breaking) things and strapping dolls to the back of remote control cars, so it's fair to say that diversity in STEM in general -and tech in particular- is something I've always been super passionate about. When the diversity numbers from tech companies started rolling out last summer, an idea I had played with for a while became much more important... I knew so many people from underrepresented groups in tech (myself included!) that were having a rough time finding a job at a company that was happy to have them... but I also knew there had to be companies out there that really do care.
Modiv is my answer to that, and a huge passion project of mine... I see it as my way of helping move tech forward. But I know that the problem is bigger than getting people hired right now, which is why at least 10% of the profits (more once we get up and moving!) will go to organizations working on tech diversity. Think GirlsInTech, CODE2040, BlackGirlsCode... you get the idea :) Really excited to see how we can all work together to get diversity moving in a great direction.
Special thanks to Product Hunt and all of the other awesome companies already onboard :D

@cmrberry we're hiring in London. You think it'd be worthwhile to post a job or not enough audience there yet?
@hueypriest most of the talent is US-based so far, but I'd be happy to discuss to see if we can work something out :) send me an email: rachel at modivhq dot com

This looks great Rachel. You've got an impressive client list there, I'm looking forward to seeing how this grows!
P.s. the 'I'm just having fun' tab, best thing ever :D
@fredrivett Glad someone found it! I always appreciate "easter eggs" on Hunts, so I had to throw one in :D
And yep, I'm super fortunate and excited to be working with some amazing companies that I really look up to! They're leaders in inclusive work culture and already doing awesome work... so happy to send more diverse talent their way!
@kerry_benjamin1 Thanks for the support Kerry! STEAMrolers has been a huge inspiration!
This is cool. I'll keep an eye on this project. @cmrberry, I'd be happy to connect you with our team whenever you'd like and/ or please drop by next time you're in the bay. jason at code2040.org.
@jhtdc thanks Jason! CODE2040 was already on my shortlist of organizations to reach out to in the coming weeks.... looking forward to connecting!
