Building Equitable and Compliant Products

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

About Us

Incluu, a Black-woman-owned tech equity and ethics consultancy, is at the forefront of addressing the critical challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution. As artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and biometrics become integral to this new era, the need for ethical product development, regulatory compliance, governance, and trust is paramount. Incluu is dedicated to guiding organizations in creating products that meet these essential standards.

In addition to supporting companies in building AI, ML, and biometric products rooted in equity and aligned with international tech policies, Incluu offers executive consulting, advisory services, and seminars focused on developing products in emerging markets with equitable outcomes and experiences. The consultancy provides real-time responses to ethical issues and unintended consequences caused by excluding and decentering the 20% of communities on the margins—those unable to access technology due to infrastructural, physical, or psychological constraints, and those who experience the most grievous harm and inequitable outcomes from that technology.

By following Incluu’s framework and principles for development, organizations can save over $200 million in legal fees and correcting PR crises, while discovering untapped markets worth over $500 million. Incluu emphasizes the importance of building trust in technology through radical compassion, community engagement, and collaboration, advocating for a society-centered and liberatory design philosophy.

In summary, Incluu is shaping a tech landscape that is just, equitable, and inclusive, while ensuring compliance with global regulations, building trust, and advancing the ethical evolution of the industry.
