Expert
“With Spotlight!, I’ve finally found a space where I’m valued for my competence and not reduced to stereotypes. It’s empowering to break free from the feeling of having to constantly prove myself—because here, diversity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s an innovation driver.”
Leandra
Expert
“In tech, performative DEI often puts diversity on display without real change. Tokenism might look good on brochures, but without inclusive leadership, policies, and culture, it fails. True equity requires accountability at every level—and that’s why I’m proud to be part of a community driving real action, not just words.”
Maria-Liisa Bruckert
Founder & CEO von ICONIQ.AI
“Spotlight! was one of the first ventures to believe in us and our idea. This not only gave us motivation, but also helped us position ourselves correctly for further investors through exciting discussions. This allowed us to lay the foundation for two successful funding rounds so far.”
