We focus on diverse entrepreneurs and those creating solutions for diverse audiences because they are solving problems for the fastest growing demographic segments in the US, provide opportunities for disproportionate returns and represent the markets of the future.

Through our partnership with Ogilvy Consulting, enterprises who want to solve problems are realizing diversity and inclusion link inextricably to innovation. If diversity is how employees get in the door, inclusion is how employees stay and positively contribute to an organization. Organizations with inclusive cultures create breakthrough ideas and make better decisions. Studies have found inclusive cultures are:

  • 2x more likely to meet or exceed financial targets
  • 3x as likely to be high-performing
  • 6x more likely to be innovative and agile
  • 8x more likely to achieve better business outcomes

humble’s mission and expansive network enable us to help enterprises vertically incorporate diversity as an innovation strategy to acquire new customers, gain innovative insights, and be better positioned for the future.
