Inflection Point: How To Be A Founder - Live at Women In Product Conference, Silicon Valley

Women in Product conference Panel

A special episode from Inflection Point with Lauren Schiller.
Lauren leads a live Q&A from the Women In Product conference, with four Silicon Valley female founders of technology companies: Cheryl Contee of Fission Strategy, Heather Fernandez of Solv, Selina Tobaccowala of Evite and Gixo and Aarthi Ramamurthy of Lumiod. You’ll hear what surprised each of them about starting a company, the pros and cons of running a company while female, from leadership style to sexual harassment and gender bias--and ultimately as business-people what it takes to scale.
