Lean On Is the New Lean In

Room 412
500 E 4th St

Two successful co-founders sit down for a tell-all about founding and leading a Silicon Valley tech startup as a man and a woman. For the first time, they are sharing the biases that came out, completely based on chromosomes. Yes, people wondered if they were hooking up. Yes, well-known investors made it clear that they wouldn’t support a woman on the founding team. Yes, there were some things that took getting used to. And yes, they will give details on all of the above.

Join the co-founders who started CloudFlare, a high-growth technology company that has moved into the Billion Dollar Startup Club, as they discuss the male and female dynamics in business. A cross between The Dating Game and 21 Questions, this humorous yet raw joint interview will cover how co-founders of opposite sexes struggle and succeed.
