Episode description

Do Startups have an Ageism Problem?

We recorded our discussion with Kirstin Hunter prior to the WGEA gender pay gap report release, but the discussion couldn’t be more timely.

One element of the WGEA report showed that the pay gap for women increases by age range. While you might look at that stat and say it shows the gap is closing generationally, it’s a stark reminder of the additional barriers that older women face in the workforce. 

Kirstin Hunter the Managing Director (NSW) at Techstars - a longtime mentor for Black bird giants and Startmate, and one of the creators of Grapevine, the platform created earlier this year that empowers individuals in Australia's tech scene by spotlighting personal stories and insights.
