First, based on the synopsis, concept of the story sounds very exciting, unique and inspiring. As someone who works in a startup company, I would love to read about startup cultures as I could relate that to my real life. The challenges, systems, social settings are completely different from a corporate world.

Cover of the book looks catchy and as I look longer and closer, the graphic of a coffee cup and the details in it portrays the big picture of the story as a whole and I think that is a great way to communicate that to readers and showcase the book.

As far as themes, I love that this story involves several factors that's currently happening in the world; such as racism, social equality etc. And I feel like this is one very excellent way to showcase those issues, and bring awareness and in turn execute actions to make a difference in the world.
