“The core of the M/O program is aligned with our commitment at Gathered Foods to enable an empowered DEI environment
as we establish our HQ in Austin. Our team is deeply committed to the fact that all people have value; that people of different colors, creeds, sexes, sexual orientations and different countries of origin are what make the human experience vibrant, transformative and meaningful. We fiercely protect and nurture diversity and inclusion of people from all walks of life in our organization. We reject intolerance.”

“I loved our advisor, she was awesome to work with. She heard us out and was not condescending, something we have experienced a lot on our path with other people trying to "mentor" us. She's very knowledgeable and whenever she didn't have an answer, she'd use her resources and connected us to someone that had the answer.”
