Promoting Inclusion and Diversity
At mpathic, we welcome underrepresented individuals in tech and outside of tech. Maybe you've been overlooked, faced a glass ceiling, a paperwork barrier, couldn't code switch exactly right, had to up-manage others while doing all the work, don't want to have to deal with feeling tired or like an outsider anymore. We are a tech company run by a psychologist in a tech environment that has a history of systemic problems; we are approaching that history and re-imagining start-up life together, intentionally.

Our workplace values include equality, transparency, and inclusion. We take pride in managing systemic bias within the company. Our Board of Directors and VCs are all 100% women or non-binary, and our company includes more than 60% persons of color (BIPOC).
