A candid conversation about workplace sexism at Disrupt SF

A candid conversation about workplace sexism at Disrupt SF

Women have been in the workforce for decades, yet many are still encountering frustrating obstacles when trying to move up the career ladder.

These situations can happen in any industry, but the tech and startup community has been under added scrutiny because female founders are less likely to get funding and a paltry 7% of venture capital partners are women.  Now some people have been speaking up about their experiences with sexual harassment and discrimination. 

So how do we resolve this and find a better path forward? That’s the million dollar question, but we have three accomplished women joining us on stage to share their perspectives at TC Disrupt SF.
