Description

This week, Natasha interviewed Elana Berkowitz, founding partner at Springbank Collective and an early-stage investor working to close the gender gap.Following with our theme of covering the silent changemakers in tech, Berkowitz has done much more than invest: she’s an advisor at Eric Shmidt’s office, a social entrepreneur who was a former innovator in residence at CARE, former Obama Administration technology policy official across the Obama-Biden Transition Team.We spoke about:Building a venture firm that wants to disrupt the way the world thinks about careWhat people are missing when they talk about women's healthThe big opportunities out there to keep women in the workforce (and the low hanging fruit that we should all be thinking about)As always, the full Equity crew will be back on Friday, but you can keep up with us in the meantime on Twitter @EquityPod.Equity drops at 10:00 a.m. PT every Monday and at 7:00 a.m. PT on Wednesdays and Fridays, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.
