The Beta 2020 program
We believe that media startups and the people behind them are worth celebrating. Beta is about bringing people and companies to the table — people you probably won’t come across at media conferences.
We wanted to demonstrate diversity in all its forms, and to create access for all, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, and gender. We don’t do manels. Hold us accountable.
