I hope: more people from backgrounds currently underrepresented in tech are championed, introduced, uplifted, mentored, funded
An interesting question to ask is where this all goes, and what happens next? How do behaviors change for a more functional Silicon Valley?

I think some people are tending to react to this news by being more guarded, afraid, unlikely to engage: this seems like the wrong takeaway
-
Feels like a moment for a small Valley employment law firm to make a name for themselves as aggressive & *progressive* counsel for startups.
-
To expand on that a bit: cheap, "off the shelf" legal advice is (1) mostly what startups get and (2) inherently conservative.
-
It'd be interesting to see
@clerkyinc or something similar explicitly promote their HR advice as being less conservative, more pro-D&I. -
(hiring/recruiting tools are starting to do this, which is great, but not so much law firms that I've seen.)
-
(would love to be wrong and see examples of pro-D&I employment law firms!)

A useful question here might be: Is there an industry that does a better job here? How did they get there? What are their best practices?

And if we can copy then without the stereotypical salary decline, that'd be great.pic.twitter.com/h2uX58IELt
