SUMMARY:Is Being A Tech Founder Still A Bro Sport?
DESCRIPTION:Despite decades of conversation around diversity in tech\, the archetype of the entrepreneur remains stubbornly narrow\, male and often from elite institutions. In addition\, equity funding remains male-dominated\, despite over a decade of initiatives to encourage and support more women founders. This panel asks the provocative question: is being a tech founder still a bro sport? \nThis panel will be exploring the structural\, cultural and financial barriers that continue to shape who gets to innovate\, who gets funded and who gets heard in the tech world. Are new funding models and accelerators helping to democratise access to capital? How are gender\, race and class shaping the founder experience? And what role does media play in reinforcing or challenging the dominant narratives? \nThis conversation is not just about representation\, it’s about the future of innovation. If we continue to build technology through a narrow lens\, we risk creating products and systems that serve a limited few. Join us as we interrogate who gets to build the future and what it will take to make the founder identity more expansive\, inclusive and equitable. \nThis event is jointly hosted by Cambridge Judge Business School\, University of Cambridge and Black Talent & Leadership in STEM \nKindly note that due to this event taking place in the community space\, members are encouraged to use the boardroom for the duration of this event.

SUMMARY:Nurturing Human Empathy in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:How can we nurture human empathy in the age of AI? Join Mainda Kiwelu (Cambridge Visual Dialogues) and Neelima Alluri (Chain of Thought AI) for an interactive exploration of how empathy and creativity can help us build more meaningful solutions with technology. \nThrough the Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) methodology\, they’ll demonstrate how observing art together can strengthen empathy and collaboration\, skills that can be carried into how we work with AI. \nThe session will also feature a case study from a Cambridge start-up\, showing how AI\, when designed thoughtfully\, can protect rather than replace human empathy\, enabling teams to focus on trust\, care\, and impact. \nKindly note that due to this event taking place in the community space\, members are encouraged to use the boardroom for the duration of this event.
