📢 We’re excited to announce the release of Grapevine’s Harvest Report! 🍇 This month marks one year since we came together as a collective, so we’re unveiling a report that dives deep into the financial and human costs of inequality in Australian startups. Over the past year, Grapevine has become a vital platform, collecting hundreds of stories that highlight both the progress and struggles in the tech scene. This report isn’t just data—it’s a call to action. 🚨 From the staggering costs of turnover to the mental toll of poor workplace culture, our findings show that discrimination, harassment, and bullying aren't just harmful—they’re expensive. But here's the thing: we know our data is skewed. Most stories we’ve received have focused on what’s gone wrong, and we want to change that. 💬 What’s next? We want to hear from you. Share your experiences—whether they’ve been positive or negative—so we can keep building a more balanced, representative picture of what’s happening in the Australian startup ecosystem. Systemic change cannot rely on individual acts of courage; it requires the collective to create a safe, inclusive working environment for all. 🚀 As we launch this report, keep an eye out in The Sydney Morning Herald in print today or read here: https://lnkd.in/gHA_k4-e 📖 Read the full report here 👉 https://bit.ly/4hgRqbU 📥 Share your story at askthegrapevine.com Let’s keep driving progress—together. 💪

Your work is so valuable Grapevine. As well as creating a safe space for people to share their stories, your objective analysis and practical suggestions are so accessible and this concise report continues that. It is not enough to be committed to change when you don't know which changes might actually be useful. Your suggestions help interested and committed leaders to make useful changes. Thank you
