Culture Shift Labs Launches Human Capital Marketplace for Senior-Level Diverse Talent, Investors, and Subject Matter Experts

Culture Shift Labs (CSL), the diversity and innovation consulting firm disrupting the management consulting industry and the force behind The Culture Shifting Deal Making Summits for the last 14 years, has announced plans to launch a human capital marketplace for senior-level diverse talent, investors, and subject matter experts.

The Culture Shifting Community, which has ballooned to over 12,000 members across the globe since its launch in 2006, has empowered deal flow that has delivered more than $1.4BLN in venture capital and investments to underrepresented fund managers and entrepreneurs. It is supported in part by the largest financial institutions, family offices, technology companies, and corporate venture funds across the globe, including JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, UBS, Bill.com, Silicon Valley Bank, Walmart, Verizon, etc. 

The Culture Shift Human Capital Marketplace will officially launch later this year, with access available by invitation. 

Since its inception, Culture Shift Labs has been recognized as a leader in driving social and financial returns, serving Fortune 500s, tech companies, private equity, venture capital, impact investors, family offices, and large nonprofits with a wide array of diversity, equity and inclusion, business development and consulting services.

The Culture Shift Labs team is composed of strategists, deal-makers, curators, and activators. They are experts in growth and innovation by helping companies leverage technology, trends, business, and demographic shifts. Culture Shift’s clients are first-movers, visionaries, and early adopters who understand the value of diversity and innovation. 

Culture Shift Labs provides services under three pillars: advising, strategy, and activation. Since 2006, CSL has been a recognized leader in integrating social and financial returns in ways that improve businesses and society.

Culture Shift’s “Knowledge + Network Formula” produces tangible outcomes. Their clients are first-movers, visionaries, and early adopters. CSL helps to activate and accelerate their intentions. Culture Shift Labs serves Fortune 500s, tech companies, investors (private equity, venture capital, impact investors, family office), and nonprofits.

Culture Shifting Summits, pioneered and produced by Culture Shift Labs, are annual invite-only deal-making summits that take place in Silicon Valley, New York, Miami, and London. These are the only summits of their kind in the United States that unite over 300 accomplished underrepresented technology investors, executives, entrepreneurs, innovators, celebrities, and social impact leaders in order to enable deals, collaborations, and wealth creation. 

The next Culture Shift Summit will commence in London this April, followed by Silicon Valley in September, New York in October, and Miami in November, with supporters already locked in, including Silicon Valley Bank, JPMC, PNC Bank, Microsoft, and Ernst and Young.

Throughout its history, Culture Shift Labs has pioneered incubating and curating micro-networks, including healthcare, venture capital, private equity, corporate venture capital, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, family office, athletes and entertainers, alternative investments, etc.

Culture Shift Labs’ “secret sauce” is the “Knowledge + Network” business model that they pioneered in 2006, which produces tangible outcomes across a range of services that support and accelerate board, leadership, workforce, business and corporate development, and corporate social responsibility.

According to David Parker, Culture Shift Labs Co-CEO, “Our Culture Shifting Community has been leveraging our services since 2006, and it will now have access to rich digital content that offers peer-to-peer networking, collaboration, and deal flow. The marvelous thing about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn’t as individuals.”

When asked for a comment that encapsulates her experience as part of the Culture Shifting Community, Ollen Douglas, Managing Partner at The Lightship Anchor Fund, simply said, “Nothing like [The Culture Shift Summits] exist.”
