The energy we have been investing in promoting diversity, equity and inclusion since the incubator was founded is now reinforced by Janine Heinrich, a passionate advocate of DEI in entrepreneurship. Through her research and collaboration with non-profits such as Founderland gUG and ADAN e.V., she advocates for underrepresented founders. With her podcast On the Up & Up, she creates a platform for important dialog and encourages diverse start-ups.
