Build it before you need it: Cultural safety that scales

Track 03:
Culture by Design
Time:
1:00 pm
1:45 pm

We all want a culture where employees speak up. But what happens when they actually do? In this session, Sam Garven explores how to build systems that make it easier for people to raise concerns—and for leaders to respond well. Drawing on her work at Hello Canopy and as a founding member of Grapevine, Sam shares what helps, what hurts, and what builds trust. You’ll leave with a toolkit for making safety real, not theoretical—even when you’re still building the basics.

Post event ADD-ONS

Catch up on what you missed, and keep the conversations going

With five tracks running across the first‑ever Startup People Summit, even the most committed note‑takers couldn’t catch it all live.

Now, you don’t have to miss a thing.

The SPS 2025 On‑Demand channel is ready. Packed with 40+ session recordings from every track, game‑changing ideas from all our speakers, and 12 months to watch, rewatch, and take notes at your own pace.

But SPS was never just an event. With the All Access Bundle, you’ll get everything in On‑Demand, plus join our new private SPS Community—a year‑round space where startup People professionals share challenges and wins in real time, swap fresh ideas and frameworks, collaborate on solutions, and know they’re not doing this work alone. Because the real value of SPS isn’t just in what we heard, it’s in what we can build together next.

Just a reminder: If you’re a Unicorn Pass holder, you already have On‑Demand and SPS Community access included. No need to purchase an add‑on — you’re already all set!
