Hello readers,
One story that captivated me this week was our piece where female founders and executives spoke out against sexual harrassment in the male-dominated tech scene.
It’s an eye-opening read. As a man, I’ve never had to worry that a meeting over coffee or drinks – or even a company outing – might leave me feeling violated. But it’s a gruesome reality that many women in the industry face every day.
