Scaling a business takes support of a local startup community and a global player—EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women—with a network of corporate and venture capital connections.
A light bulb went off."I could create a platform where people that were not getting jobs because of who they are—not their skills—could find jobs," said Racette. Her goal is to provide work to marginalized people.
In 2019, Racette started raising angel and venture capital to build a robust online platform. It was a painful process."The first 10 or 20 'nos' really beat me down and shook my confidence," she sighed. Many companies now recognize the benefits of hiring diverse people. Clients include Ideo, and Telus. A technology company provides computer equipment to remote, indigenous communities, and Gurus' Virtual Academy trains them.
“About 25% of talent is from the U.S.,” said Racette. Now that the company is compliant with individual state laws in the U.S., Racette believes that percentage will grow significantly. "Almost every meeting was very beneficial," said Racette. Even for those that weren't an apparent fit, the connections were still outstanding.
