Happy Friday and welcome back to your weekly 1776 insights. Keep on reading for the latest in trends and startups innovating in industries that matter. You'll also find some events and classes, where we hope to see you!
This week we kicked off our monthlong series on equality in tech (http://www.1776.vc/insights/equality-in-tech-moving-the-conversation-forward/?utm_source=1776+Newsletter&utm_campaign=a960b420c8-03132015_1776_Media_Digest3_12_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_98483e303e-a960b420c8-68860609) . Equality is about more than just gender and race, and we're enjoying the perspectives so far. Expect to see our contributors writing throughout March about how tech companies, startups and individuals can be the solution (http://www.1776.vc/insights/re-booting-techs-approach-to-inequality/?utm_source=1776+Newsletter&utm_campaign=a960b420c8-03132015_1776_Media_Digest3_12_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_98483e303e-a960b420c8-68860609) instead of the problem.

As part of the series, we hosted "Access Unlocked," an event that examined not just the problems facing educational access to tech, but the solutions that are working and how those can scale. If you missed the event, check out our coverage (http://www.1776.vc/insights/edtech-experts-on-closing-the-skills-gap-it-all-comes-back-to-access/?utm_source=1776+Newsletter&utm_campaign=a960b420c8-03132015_1776_Media_Digest3_12_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_98483e303e-a960b420c8-68860609) —and then check out the events section (http://www.1776.vc/events/?utm_source=1776+Newsletter&utm_campaign=a960b420c8-03132015_1776_Media_Digest3_12_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_98483e303e-a960b420c8-68860609) to join us for these engaging conversations in the future!
