Mission (Our why)

Make it easier for enterprises to diversify their supplier base by proactively partnering with startups to minority owned technology providers.

According to The Hackett Group, on average, supplier diversity programs add $3.6 million to the
bottom line for every $1 million in procurement operation costs.

How do we do this?
  • Created the Marketplace where former Gartner analysts vet and connect SME and/or
    minority-owned technology vendors
  • For each sourcing event facilitated on the platform, we contribute ten meals to those in need
    via the UN’s https://sharethemeal.org
  • 25-minute podcasts by ESG, technology, sustainability and procurement practitioners inspiring
    and sharing best practices
What we do

80/20 of our listed vendors are diverse suppliers that are at least 51% owned and operated by an individual or group part of a traditionally underrepresented or underserved group. They include but not limited to black, female, veteran-owned to small medium firms.

Vendors submit their three why’s, i.e., why are they relevant, why should you engage with them now and why them (USP) – i.e. no marketing or techy buzzwords.

Our team of former Gartner analysts and CXOs conduct vendor briefings that include demos and ensure accurate messaging and quality control.
