Kanarys为其数据驱动平台筹集300万美元，用于评估多样性和包容性工作

曼迪·普莱斯（Mandy Price）在私人执业方面已经是一位非常成功的律师，在一年多前，她与两名联合创始人一起进入创业领域，创办了Kanarys。 哈佛法学院的毕业生不必创办公司，这可以帮助企业使用硬数据来衡量其多元化和包容性工作的效率，但她需要创办公司。 现在，在推出该服务一年后，该公司就使用了该服务的十几家公司中包括百胜餐饮集团（Yum Brands），达拉斯小牛队（Dallas Mavericks）和内曼·马库斯（Neiman Marcus）等公司，并拥有300万美元的种子资金来帮助其扩张。 对于Price而言，创办Kanarys的动力来自她自己的法律工作经验。普莱斯创立卡纳里斯公司并不是因为微小的侵略，低薪，同事对她本来就很成功的态度的随便不屑一顾，而是让她知道自己的经历并非独一无二，并且成千上万的女性和少数族裔也面临着挑战。每天同样的经历。 普莱斯说：“我在工作场所发生了很多事情，这与许多其他妇女和有色人种的妇女所经历的相似，并且不想让我的孩子不得不经历类似的问题。” 因此，普莱斯与她的丈夫本尼·金（本人是达拉斯地区的连环企业家）和她在德克萨斯州的奥斯丁大学以及哈佛的同班同学卡特（Star Carter）一起，于2019年末推出了Kanarys。 该公司使用“平等就业机会”报告以及对各种政策的评估，这些政策涉及晋升，招聘和福利，以跟踪公司相对于同业的表现。 “我们看到的许多不平等现象都是从结构和系统的角度来看的。这就是Kanarys看到他们如何使不平等现象永久存在的地方。” Price说。

原文：Mandy Price was already a highly successful lawyer in private practice before she took the jump into entrepreneurship alongside two co-founders to launch Kanarys a little over one year ago.

The Harvard Law School graduate didn’t have to start her company, which helps businesses measure the efficacy of their diversity and inclusion efforts using hard data, but she needed to start the company.

Now, a year after its launch, the company counts companies like Yum Brands, the Dallas Mavericks and Neiman Marcus among the dozen or so companies using its service, and has $3 million in seed funding to help it expand.

For Price, the drive to launch Kanarys  came from her own experiences working in law. It wasn’t the microagressions, or the lower pay, or casually dismissive attitude of colleagues toward her well-earned success that led Price to start Kanarys, but the knowledge that her experience wasn’t unique and that thousands of other women and minorities faced the same experiences daily.

“I have had many things happen to me in the workplace that is similar to what many other women and women of color have dealt with, and didn’t want to have my children have to go through similar issues,” Price said. 

So alongside her husband, Bennie King (himself a serial entrepreneur in the Dallas area), and her University of Texas at Austin and Harvard classmate, Star Carter, Price launched Kanarys in late 2019.

The company uses Equal Employment Opportunity reports and assessments of various policies involving promotion, recruitment and benefits to track how a company is performing in relation to its industry peers.

“A lot of the inequities we see are from a structural and systemic standpoint. That is where Kanarys can see how they’re perpetuating inequity,” Price said.
