Building Equitable and Compliant Products

Incluu offers expert driven consulting services to ensure ethical and compliant tech products

About Us

Incluu is a Black-woman-owned tech equity and ethics consultancy, dedicated to guiding organizations and individuals as they adopt a more intentional and thoughtful approach to their teams, processes, and products. We believe the key to a better, more equitable future lies in radical compassion, community, and collaboration, especially with those who have historically been marginalized.

At Incluu, we focus on the intersection of tech equity, ethics, and DEI in product development, spanning society-centered and liberatory design, responsible innovation, and business value. We are committed to the belief that the tech industry must prioritize product development that is just, equitable, inclusive, and accessible, while also considering ethical aspects such as safety, privacy, and security by design. Embracing this approach is essential for the industry to remain relevant and achieve a global impact.
