      @shaft Goal is to better identify undervalued/underrepresented talent by not just applying traditional SV interview standards.

      @shaft Groups already migrate from company to company. We want to make sure we get *everyone*, not just those who look like what we expect.

      @shaft More broadly, since it seems it *could* help, we wanted to try it. I hate the ratio of talk to action in industry.
