In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner MaRS Discovery District talks with CEO Caitlin McGregor about why startups should keep it straightforward when speaking with customers. McGregor's company, Plum.io, focuses on increasing diversity and innovation in the workplace. Before Plum.io was going to accept an angel invesment, two problems suddenly cropped up.
