Mona- this was fantastic! You knocked it out of the park. Thanks for this message. Not sure if you will read the comments but BabyPlus is still moving along- albeit slow at times, for many of the reasons you mentioned. Raising capital is such a character builder... let us know if you'd like an update on our progress. I'd love to share. Julie

"Life's battles are not won by the smarter ones or the faster ones. It is won by the one who believes she can"! Very well said, Mona.

As a woman in tech, I've faced those double standards. It's comforting to know I'm not alone in this struggle.

[@gadlubac]

It's refreshing to hear someone acknowledge that the "balance" we always hear about is more of a myth

[@wanderinCN]

thats how startup works, your audacity and resilience guided you to where you are!

[@jasptasankert]

The way she describes The Road Less Travelled reminds me of when I switched careers at 40. Terrifying, but so worth it!

[@grantrylan]

Yes, to live by our own values, even when it's unpopular. That is strength.

[@coopertubner]

What a lady! So inspiring to see someone who has not only faced challenges, but has thrived because of them.

[@CarmelinaBritto]

You have been an inspiration to all of us, it was pleasure working with you, you will always be missed. Loved your speech!

[@schellecandar]

The bit about standing by your values even when it's unpopular is so important. Thank you for that reminder.

[@umadelecois]

I loved how she talked about creating meaningful moments amidst the chaos!

[@jycintabrown]

I thought I was the only one who felt like the goalposts keep moving. Nice to know it's not just me!

[@SMaa24683]

Truly inspiring 🤍

[@sajithomas2158]

Thank you beautiful

[@gerdefrederick]

Her point about the journey vs. destination made me pause. I've always been so focused on the next goal, I might be missing out on the present.

Kinda wish she had expanded on strategies to overcome the gender biases when securing funding.

[@MoonShimmer]

I think she kinda plays down the challenges that women face in entrepreneurship.
