Diversity & The Future of Work — We Can No Longer Sit on the Sidelines!
Over the last 48 hours, I have watched technology CEOs, industry executives, and leading VC firms voice their outrage by the killing of George Floyd and decry racism in America. Many of their companies have made official statements and even provided financial support towards nonprofits supporting racial injustice. I admire their efforts but frankly I […]
Pandemic, Future of Work & the Current Fundraising Environment
As a data-driven investor, we constantly track data. Fundraising data. Market data. Economic data. Over the last month, one question persists —how will COVID-19 affect venture capital fundraising particularly in the Future of Work? We decided to look at our data to understand VC fundraising over the last month and compare last month’s data with the […]

Gender Diversity & Future of Work Companies — We Can Do Better! Since launching the Future of Work Global Index earlier this year, we have been pouring through the publicly available data on the companies within the index. Who are the outliers and why?

How Do Future of Work Companies Perform in a Crisis

Hold on to your jobs while you can, because pretty soon the robots will replace all of us temperamental, non-programmable human workers. At least that’s what you’d gather from these recent headlines: “What Will The Economy Look Like When The Robots Take Your Job?,” “Robots Ate My Job,” and “Welcome, Robot Overlords. Please Don’t Fire […]
Mobile Management Goes Beyond the Device
Your mobile device is generally an extension of you. It’s a tough reality many of us still hesitate to admit, but, if we’re honest, these pocket-sized computers are a huge part of the way we live and, similarly, the way we work. In fact, as tablet sales are set to outpace laptops this year, it’s also […]
The Internet of Things and the Jobs Dilemma
Take a deep breath. Just because a computer can win Jeopardy! or drive a car, doesn’t mean the rise of the robots is around the corner and everyone will be out of a job in 10 years. Historically, this has happened before. Take a look at the Industrial Revolution. The invention of the steam engine […]
Wearables to Work Smarter, Not Harder
Few changes have had as big an impact on the workplace as the mobile revolution. The next chapter of that revolution? Wearable technologies. They may still be something of a novelty, but these technologies will undoubtedly redefine the future of work, from how employees do their jobs to their relationships with managers and colleagues. Wearable technologies […]
De-Bunking the 8-Hour Work Day for the Modern Workforce
Let’s face it: the eight-hour work day is a thing of the past. A tidy 9 to 5 schedule may have been a reality for the workforce a decade ago, but no more. According to government statistics, the average work day for American employees is now nearly nine hours, due, in part, to the adoption of technologies like […]
