A lot of the problem as investors, v c is still very white mail. And so most people who have brilliant ideas don't get to actually execute on them. So there are pain points, both in venture, for your profit businesses and for social onterpenors that needs to get fixed. I mean, people should be throwing money at me, but i got to go with my little tin can and get mine now.

“It’s not about fixing women. It’s about fixing the system,” says Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code and Marshall Plan for Moms. As the author of the new book Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work, Reshma calls out corporate feminism and society’s assumption that women have to solve the problems of workplace achievement on their own. She argues that childcare is an economic issue that should be subsidized by employers, and that the discourse around the “future of work” needs to move beyond employees’ return to the workplace. Reshma also takes Silicon Valley to task for not diversifying their tech force.
