Our Services
Tech Equity & Ethics Consulting
Empowering partners to champion responsible, inclusive, and equitable technology solutions
We collaborate with organizations to assess their current processes and product offerings, devising data-driven strategies to enhance accessibility, equity, inclusion, and market reach through tailored equity metrics, and the implementation of society-centered and liberatory design principles. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, we support our partners in pinpointing areas where biases and systemic inequalities may be influencing their solutions. We equip them with actionable recommendations to address these challenges by applying justice-centered, liberatory, and relational design strategies. Our comprehensive approach encompasses conducting a series of audits and assessments, establishing and implementing ethical policies and procedures, and offering continuous guidance and support.
Equity Auditing Dashboard

Our Equity Auditing Dashboard is seamlessly embedded within the product development lifecycle, enabling organizations to assess ethical and equitable outcomes.

About us
Incluu is a Black-woman-owned tech equity and ethics consultancy, dedicated to guiding organizations and individuals as they adopt a more intentional and thoughtful approach to their teams, processes, and products. We believe the key to a better, more equitable future lies in radical compassion, community, and collaboration, especially with those who have historically been marginalized.
Incluu was founded by Dr. Dédé Tetsubayashi (she/they), a Cornell University educated social scientist and technologist with over two decades of experience in promoting equitable outcomes at the intersection of ethical technology and social justice across the U.S., APAC, and African markets. Dr. Tetsubayashi has partnered with organizations ranging from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies, all with the shared goal of fostering a more equitable and ethical future in technology.
Fluent in seven languages, Dr. Tetsubayashi was born in the West African nation of Togo and raised in the Northeast and Midwest regions of the United States. They have lived in Japan, Germany, and the UK, and currently reside in the Bay Area with their partner, birth mother, and sister-in-love. Dr. Dédé is a global citizen with a deep appreciation for the richness of diversity and a keen understanding of how various aspects of identity intersect.
“If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together”
-African proverb
At Incluu, we focus on the intersection of tech equity, ethics, and DEI in product development, spanning society-centered and liberatory design, responsible innovation, and business value. We are committed to the belief that the tech industry must prioritize product development that is just, equitable, inclusive, and accessible, while also considering ethical aspects such as safety, privacy, and security by design. Embracing this approach is essential for the industry to remain relevant and achieve a global impact.
