Description: Jopwell is a career platform that helps Black, Latino/Hispanic, and Native American students and professionals unlock opportunities for career advancement, not only when looking for a job but at all career stages. Launched by former Goldman Sachs employees Porter Braswell and Ryan Williams in Jan. 2015, the Jopwell platform enables partner companies to search and recruit from a pipeline of candidates from backgrounds historically underrepresented at top-tier companies – from technology startups and investment banks to nonprofits and hospitals. They are a Manhattan-based, venture-backed team that Inc magazine named among the “5 Most Interesting Startups" to come out of Y Combinator's summer 2015 Demo Day. In 2017, Jopwell was named one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies” in the enterprise category and one of Entrepreneur’s “100 Most Brilliant Companies.” Co-founders Porter and Ryan were also featured on Fast Company’s 2017 list of “100 Most Creative People in Business.” Their mission is to leverage the power of technology to create access to opportunities and make the workforce more colorful.
