The program aims to aid leaders and emerging businesses who have been historically kept from investment and venture capital avenues, as well provide the mentorship opportunities essential for long-term success. Part of the 2022 ACCESS program, TDM was one of six companies selected from a pool of 43. The leadership team received access to weekly mentoring sessions on pitch, product-market-fit, and finances; a local and global network through TiE Atlanta and TiE Global; and introductions to potential customers and partners for long-term growth.\u00a0 The Diversity Movement\u2019s success at the ACCESS Investor Showcase made it eligible for investment from TiE Atlanta Angels, which leads the mini-fund for ACCESS. The company was noted for the strength of its platform, vision, traction, and the quality of its management team. \u201cWith the right access to mentors, corporate partners, and all-around network, startups can really thrive. Kurt and Donald really dedicated themselves to take advantage of the resources ACCESS had to offer and that\u2019s the ultimate result in their success in the program. We are excited to invest in The Diversity Movement and look forward to their growth and continued participation with TiE Atlanta,\u201d said Paul Lopez, ACCESS Co-Chair. \u201cThe investment from the TiE ACCESS program will help The Diversity Movement fuel growth of its workplace learning platform, said Donald Thompson, chief executive officer at The Diversity Movement. \u201cThe company benefited from the mentoring and coaching we received throughout the process, which helped us further redefine and broaden our mission to make the world a better place through DEI programming and initiatives.\u201d\u00a0 TDM\u2019s subscription-based workplace learning platform includes DEI Navigator. DEI Navigator is a subscription-based membership platform that provides resources needed to create, strengthen, or expand culture, including content, tools, analytics, and on-demand guidance.
