Goodbye ..
and Thank You
We have sad news today. This is the last message you get from Witty Works as we are closing our business.
We had seen promising growth in the first half year of 2024 with our inclusive writing assistant. But then came the backlash on DEI and the pressure of the US administration on international corporations to cancel their DEI programs. This has had a devastating impact on Witty Works. In consequence, we sadly had to decide that we won't continue with our enterprise anymore.
While one eye is crying, the other is smiling, because:
We met you during these years. And have learnt so much from you. Thank you, thank you for all your feedback and inputs!
We had the privilege to build a DEI tool from the ground up, with all the freedom our great investors gave us.
We got to sell our product to many great clients, all supporting DEI at their fullest.
Here some two last recommendations:
We hope you remain committed to addressing bias in HR and AI. So we recommend you have a look at the EU Bias project: https://www.biasproject.eu/. You can sign up for their activities here: https://www.biasproject.eu/contact/
As a Woman In Tech you are highly searched for on the labour market and yet it still seems to be difficult to get a job? Contact https://www.rockstar.jobs/ (yes, we know, the company's name is agentic ). They are a great team and connect Women In Tech with companies.
So, here they are - our last words. Keep being great as you are! And if you once in a while fail, rest, reflect, put your crown back on the head and stand up again. That's what we do now!
