Emma Bates is the CEO and co-founder of Diem. Diem is creating a new front door to the internet––starting with their social search engine that draws inspiration from how women search the internet.

Emma is on a mission to showcase how inclusive internet platforms, like Diem, bridge the gender information gap and pave the way for a "new internet" that nurtures real connections through innovative technology. Prior to Diem, Emma led Partnerships at the travel brand, Away, and was Head of Community at the global creator commerce company, Whalar.

Her unique approach on marketing, partnerships and community building has landed her a coveted spot on Forbes’s “30 Under 30” list as well as features in Fortune, HuffPost, MSNBC, Girlboss, Inc Mag, Entrepreneur and The Cut.

Born in Singapore and raised in the UK, she earned a BA from King’s College London before moving to New York City in 2016.

In this episode, we discuss the genesis of Diem, what sets it apart from other search platforms, advice to fellow builders, and more!
