Women and Work
The workplace can feel very different for women than for men. Women often feel they have to prove themselves, that they’re evaluated by how they look, or that their opinions are not respected. They feel Mom Guilt for leaving their kids while they pursue a career and worry about taking a job that fuels their passion instead of their pocketbook. We examine these real life challenges of women who are climbing the corporate ladder, growing their own business, and navigating the complex juggle of work and family. We explore how women like you can make work fit your life, not the other way around.

Women and Work: Jarah Euston
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you’ve done everything “right” — the education, the pedigree, the experience — yet women still raise a fraction of the capital, it forces a hard question: why?
That happened to Jarah Euston, but she didn’t accept the numbers at face value. Even at Wharton — now majority female — women founders raise just a small share of venture funding.
So Jarah took action. She helped build a powerful network connecting female founders and funders, while also building WorkWhile — a labor marketplace giving frontline workers control over their schedules and livelihoods.
This conversation dives into venture capital inequity, sponsorship vs. mentorship, motherhood, and what it really takes to change systems from the inside.
Have you seen these barriers show up in your career or business?
