Gunderson Dettmer proudly celebrates the 2024 Global Diversity Awareness Month this October, reflecting on a year of meaningful engagement with diverse communities. From honoring Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with a team gathering in Chinatown to celebrating Black History Month by showcasing the achievements of Black clients, the firm’s goal is clear: to foster connections. In our inaugural message for Global Diversity Awareness Month, five partners representing the firm’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee and our nine affinity groups share their stories and insights, illustrating how these groups help foster bonds in a demanding legal environment. The message also features authentic perspectives from professional staff and associate conveners, who emphasize the critical role of representation and creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels valued, heard and supported, regardless of their race, gender, cultural backgrounds and past experiences. Our differences unite us, and it is through this diversity that we become a stronger, more resilient firm. Thank you to our amazing attorneys and professional staff members who participated in our video. Together, we celebrate our differences in unity.

Over a year since this announcement, and Founder House is still one of my favorite initiatives at Tech:NYC. It’s been incredible to watch founders connect with each other and receive industry support—no strings attached. 🙌 A huge thanks to our friends at WeWork and many others who continue to make this possible! 💼🚀 Tech:NYC | Rho | Innovatemap | Google | Gunderson Dettmer | EY | Thoropass | Justworks | M13

Built for finance and large institutions, Rogo's ChatGPT-esque junior analyst streamlines workflows, drafts memos and generates models and PowerPoints to help individuals spend more time on things that actually make investment banking and investing interesting. CEO and cofounder Gabriel Stengel said, “Wall Street has this rich legacy of people who work really hard, often are overworked, and where people don’t necessarily look out for each other. I think that’s changing a lot, and that’s true in a lot of industries. People are paying more attention to how they work and to their peers. Stakeholder capitalism, rather than shareholder capitalism, right?... In the way I conceptualize this, [Rogo] is something that could actually prevent people from being overworked, I imagine, because they’re more efficient.” Congratulations to the company on its $18.5 million Series A financing led by Khosla Ventures.
