🎙️ About our guest
Lauren is a basketball coach turned tech entrepreneur that was inspired to solve the pain and measurement of evaluation after completing a master's degree in sport policy. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Lauren has lived in multiple countries, coached basketball around the world, and is building her tech startup Fathom Performance. Now, Fathom Performance is an app that aims to change the way we demonstrate impact both in the sporting industry and for our inclusion efforts everywhere. Lauren is working to make it possible to evaluate inclusion initiatives more effectively and accurately so they can be improved, scaled and reproduced.

“So if everybody is able to see a little bit more clearly and objectively, What their efforts are translating into you know, that creates a wealth of benefits for everybody involved. So that's our goal is to make change more visible.”
“One of the best starting places though, for any organization that wants to do better monitoring and evaluation is to sit down and think about the outcomes that they actually theorize or think are, are being achieved through their programming.”
