I did a quick search, turn out Include might not just be a fringe organization (ie. this isn't a lame attempt at PR).

> "Project Include is an open community working toward providing meaningful diversity and inclusion solutions for tech companies... focusing our efforts on CEOs and management of early to mid-stage tech startups"

Post by one of the founder Ellen Pao (of Reddit fame): https://medium.com/projectinclude/peter-thiel-yc-and-hard-de...

As a side note: I chuckled when going through the team list here: http://projectinclude.org/team .

There are roughly 50% male in the world. It's a diversity project.

I'm not making a judgement, but it does feel a slight sense of irony seeing the listing on that page.

Due to the fact that most of the team of project include is white. Same as any org that describes itself as inclusive.

You had the advantage of actually bothering to look at the team before passing comment on it though.
