    Yep, there are a lot of efforts to get more diversity among individual contributors. It seems little is done to address the problem on the leadership side.

      That and the VC side...

      I think it's an extra incentive for me to not only succeed as my company's founder, but knowing there's a larger problem of diverse representation in an executive role-to do my best to include people of a range of ethnicities, gender (e.g. bi, gay, trans, etc.), sexual preference (which is none of my business), and disciplines.

      Easy on paper, but you've got to start thinking this way early so that when you are able to hire, you've got a head start on playing a part to shift the paradigm.
