Kanarys, a pioneering technology company dedicated to driving long-term systemic change through advanced workforce and people analytics, is proud to announce its acquisition by an investment vehicle company created by a group of former Chief Diversity Officers (CDOs) to acquire the company. The company has chosen to remain in stealth mode for the time being, and is committed to advancing the mission of Kanarys’ by leveraging their extensive industry knowledge and strategic insights.

Going forward, Kanarys will operate under a new name, which will be unveiled in Q4 of 2024. The new ownership group plans to invest heavily in incorporating generative AI and other innovative technologies into Kanarys' software, enabling the most robust end-to-end consulting and technology solutions for DEIB on the market.

Congratulations to the Kanarys team! This strategic acquisition underscores the continued importance of inclusion and belonging initiatives, especially in the face of recent political pushback, and highlights the commitment of companies to fostering inclusive workplaces.

Have we ever told you the story behind our name, Kanarys? ⁣

The canary in a coal mine was once a mining tradition to ensure workers' safety underground. Coal miners would often carry the birds into the mines to monitor the quality of the air while they worked. At the end of the day, when workers emerged from the mines, the healthy birds symbolized a workplace environment that was nontoxic and safe. ⁣

Just like the canaries that alerted miners of a toxic atmosphere, Kanarys aims to diagnose whether a workplace is healthy for employees by surfacing the “canaries,” providing companies with the framework, benchmarking, and data they need to incorporate best-in-class DEI practices in every area of their organization. 💛

Meet Mandy Price, the powerhouse behind Kanarys, Inc.

In 2018, Mandy put aside her career as a successful Harvard-educated attorney to co-found Kanarys. She was inspired to change the world around her. Ultimately, she knew it was her life’s calling to help workplaces examine the way they do things at a foundational level.

Mandy's trailblazing efforts have garnered both local and national recognition. In 2023, she was honored as a finalist for the prestigious EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 Southwest Award, celebrated as a Founder of the Year on AfroTech's Future 50 List, and recognized as a 2023 Top HR Tech Influencer by Human Resource Executive.

Despite Black women receiving only 0.06% of venture capital funding, Kanarys co-founder and CEO, Mandy Price, has defied the odds. Last year, she successfully raised over $10M in VC funding to help companies advance and measure DEIB within their organization. 👏

This accomplishment placed Mandy among a select group of fewer than 20 Black female founders who have raised over $10M, and with this funding, Kanarys became the first Black and female-founded company based in Texas to achieve this milestone.

This groundbreaking accomplishment not only highlights Mandy's tenacity and business acumen but also serves as an inspiration for all underrepresented entrepreneurs who strive to make a difference.

Last month, the Greater Washington Area Chapter of the National Bar Association Women Lawyers Division hosted a panel discussion examining the results of our recent collaborative report, “The State of Black Women in the Law.”

The report indicates that although legal organizations are making progress toward diversity and inclusion, Black women attorneys still face significant underrepresentation, discrimination, and the responsibility of educating others on DEIB solely based on their race.

Employee engagement and motivation are crucial for the success of any business. Engaged and motivated employees are more productive, innovative, and customer-centric and tend to stay with their company, reducing recruiting and training costs.

However, employee engagement has been on the decline, only further complicated by the challenges of hybrid and remote work environments and the return-to-office movement.

Managers are the secret sauce and the linchpin to employee engagement, retention, productivity, and trust in leadership. Their ability to foster a positive and supportive work environment is crucial in driving employee engagement and overall success.
