Putting Diversity First
Sydni Craig-Hart, CEO, Smart Simple Marketing
"I work with several of these member companies and internally they are very competitive. But still I love the fact that they have come together in this consortium to actually collaborate and learn from each other. They do genuinely care about the success of the small businesses they work with."
Iman McFarland, COO, 21st Century Expo
"It's such a huge barrier trying to access the tech world. tech:SCALE understands that. But they also understand how important it is for us to get a seat at the table and they one thousand percent allow us to to have that."
