The groundswell of sexual misconduct stories over the past few months has revealed a huge problem that affects institutions from Silicon Valley to Hollywood to Washington, D.C. And where there’s a big problem, there are entrepreneurs working on a solution.
That’s the mission of AllVoices, a website that will help employees anonymously report sexual harassment and misconduct directly to company leadership. Tinder founder Sean Rad and Claire Schmidt, a former film executive, co-founded AllVoices. Rad brought in Zillow Group CEO Spencer Rascoff as a leading investor and advisor. AllVoices’ reporting tools will officially launch in the next few weeks.
“Using AllVoices, employees can report harassment and discrimination straight to the CEO and board without repercussions,” Rascoff said in an email. “This also provides the leadership team with a ton of data, and when there’s data about a problem, it’s harder to look the other way.”
