Cleveland-based tech startup Unify Jobs raises $4.5 million
Summary
Unify Labs was founded with a mission to drive inclusive prosperity by researching systems and technologies that promote inequality, rethinking and launching equitable alternatives. The Unify Labs impact business model shares the equity created by its spin-offs with its supported organizations to pursue their charitable missions.In 2019, after two years of research into systems and technologies that drive inequality, Unify Labs launched a research and analytics platform for their supported organizations, known as Knowledge Product One (KP1). KP1 offers three key insights: economic growth is not always healthy, a knowledge economy can increase disparities, and there is a misalignment of the workforce to open up viable paid jobs. This information led to a data walk with the community to review and discuss this information through the Neighborhood Leadership Development Program, which aims to uniquely develop the diverse leadership capacities of committed Clevelanders committed to building a city and a region that work for everyone.Managed for a long time Cleveland technology entrepreneur Stephen Mc HaleUnify Jobs entered a six-month pilot phase after its inception in 2021.
