Ageism is an issue that every industry faces, but for young founders in the tech startup space, it can potentially make or break a company and its founders' worth. That's why in today's episode of In The Soup, hosts Jenn Summe of Primordial and Melissa Crosby of Colopy Ventures discuss with local, younger founders about experiences they've felt were manipulated or commandeered by their age.
They are joined by Tai Huynh of Acta Solutions and Lauren McCullough of Tromml.
If you have your own experiences that you felt were pressured by ageism, whether younger or older, feel free to send your thoughts and comments to [email protected] or on our GrepBeat social media.
