The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Lime's CEO on Going from Losing $3 on Every $1 to $90M in EBITDA | How Lime Built the Global Leader in Micromobility When Competitors Went Bust | Losing 90% of Revenues in COVID and The Uber Deal That Saved the Company with Wayne Ting

I'll say this, we're lying because so many companies have backed away from the goals of diversity and inclusion. I feel this is a year where we really leaned forward because it is not, we didn't do it because it was a fad. We did it because it was the right thing to do. We absolutely believe a company benefits when it has diversity of thought. The most dangerous place to be is groupthink.

When everyone thinks the same, that's very dangerous for a company. And our true, genuine commitment to recruiting people of all backgrounds makes Lime a better company. And this year was a year where I feel like a lot of companies, especially around LGBTQ rights, you felt like I saw a lot of companies pull back on what they did for pride.

This was a year Lime doubled down on making sure that our customers and our employees know that these are things that we believe in, regardless of whether or not it's in vogue, whether or not it's cool or not. And I do hear and understand some of the criticism of woke culture.

But I think diversity and inclusion, the commitment for diversity and inclusion at a company feels very, very different than maybe some of the criticisms that you hear about woke culture.

I absolutely still believe there's a lot of biases that exist in all workplaces and maybe even in our own hearts that we are not Unconscious bias is for sure real. And there's more we can do to make sure that people feel heard and included in the workplace. One of the things I'm most proud of at Lyme, we do a biannual company survey on employee sentiment. The question we score the highest

I think the difference between inclusion, the opposite of inclusion is fitting in. And it's spending any second of your life thinking about how do I fit in so I can be accepted in this environment is wasted time. And it's not being spent focused on how do we build a better business. So this can I bring my full self and be accepted at work is so important to us.
