WSC Daily: Confession #8
“I saw on TechCrunch that the biotech startup my ex cofounded when we were together is being acquired for hundreds of MMs. I debated whether I should send my congratulations, because we haven’t stayed in contact and I didn’t want to be THAT ex. I’m glad I did because she mentioned how as the only woman on the founding team, she hasn’t been recognized as much as her male peers. It left her (the most confident woman I know) second-guessing her contributions. My words meant a lot to her. Women supporting women in male-dominated industries transcends any petty personal history. I’m so proud of her and all the strong, smart women taking up space in STEM.”
