At Lever, diversity and inclusion have been integral to our culture since day one, even though it took time to diversify in various dimensions.

At Lever, we focus on hiring people who respect each other and the mission, which has led to a unified team and a strong culture that benefits both recruiting and retention.

The biggest challenge in starting Lever was figuring out what we were going to do and ensuring we had the right people around us to believe in our vision.

At Lever, we encourage open dialogue about diversity and inclusion, allowing employees to bring up issues and collaboratively find solutions.

Lever's onboarding program includes a session on diversity and inclusion, emphasizing its importance from the very start of an employee's journey.

To attract top talent, a venture firm must offer a powerful platform that amplifies the impact of their work, leading to higher win rates and better support for companies.

Our company culture is the most important aspect of our future. It will attract great talent and encourage existing employees to excel, ensuring that we remain a significant player in the industry for years to come.

As we grew, I learned the importance of hiring, developing a standard algorithm to assess candidates against the average to ensure we brought in top talent. We focused on continuous improvement in our hiring process, asking if each candidate was better than the average, which helped us grow our team and improve our startup.

The creativity in application development is crucial for differentiation in the market, and companies must embrace this to succeed.
