Non-Founder Women in Tech Startups for Employee Experience Podcast

Looking for non-founder women in tech startups to come on my podcast Hey everyone! I recently launched Non-Founder Crew, a podcast dedicated to helping startup employees understand the unwritten rules of working in tech that nobody tells you about. Things like equity compensation, tender offers, what actually happens during a liquidity event, and how to advocate for yourself when you're not the one at the top of the org chart. I'm a woman who has spent over a decade working at different tech startups, including as an early employee at a company that later went on to IPO, so this stuff is pretty personal to me. I started this podcast because I kept running into the same knowledge gaps over and over and couldn't find resources that spoke to the employee experience specifically. I'd love to have women from this community come on as guests. So much of the startup advice out there is told through the founder lens, and honestly, through a pretty specific demographic of founder. I want Non-Founder Crew to reflect the full range of people who actually do the work at these companies, which means going out of my way to include voices that aren't the typical white male in tech perspective. If you're a non-founder woman working at (or who has worked at) a startup and you have thoughts on any of this: Navigating equity, raises, or layoffs What it's actually like to be an employee during an acquisition or IPO Office politics, career growth, or knowing your worth Anything else the startup world doesn't talk about honestly ...I want to hear from you. You can check out the trailer here: https://youtu.be/e6puV71JRP4?si=f\_4l1JzvMYZ2YZZ2 Drop a comment or DM me if you're interested. All experience levels and functions welcome, engineering, ops, marketing, finance, you name it. Let's build the resource we all wish we'd had. Thank youuuu!

US-Canada Digital Nomads Abroad for Retirement-Finance Insights

Is anyone really concerned about retirement saving or moving back to North America? Hi everyone I'm interested in hearing about the experiences of established digital nomads who have been living abroad long term with their finances, and how they are dealing with preparing for the future. For instance: could you afford to move back to a major Western city without a significant lifestyle downgrade? Are pension or retirement contributions harder to manage? For example, if you are happily managing on a lower income in a poor country, are you concerned about how much you're putting towards Social Security payments? I'm writing a piece for a well known US newspaper that aims to give realistic mix of financial benefits and tradeoffs, rather than extremes like “I’m ballin’ out of control in Thailand” or “I ruined my life and cry myself to sleep from loneliness in my $400 condo.” I’m particularly interested in practical, specific comparisons. For example: has your standard of living improved? How much less are you paying in rent? Are you eating out more because food is cheaper? How has the move affected how much you’re able to save or invest each month? Do you feel you’re missing out on networking or career opportunities—even if you ultimately feel the tradeoff is worth it? Would you describe your decision as a “cheat code,” or more as a lifestyle choice with clear advantages and tradeoffs? This would be best suited to people settled in lower-cost countries—Americans or Canadians living in places like Indonesia or Paraguay, rather than high-cost countries such as Switzerland. We’d especially love to speak with people comfortable sharing concrete details, such as: “I spend 40% less on food and invest $1,000 per month in index funds.”

Case Studies of Subnational Disaster Risk Finance Success or Failure

Most disaster response is ultimately delivered at the local level. Most emergency finance is held at the sovereign level. This is the subnational gap. If finance can flow more directly to regional and city authorities, the speed at which available money translates into projects and frontline services can increase. Call this 'Trigger to Transit': time from shock trigger to funds arriving with implementers — a measurable KPI. This gap intrigues me, and so I have begun thinking about it and looking for expert views. Here’s the trajectory of my thinking, and I welcome help to course correct: Not all subnational units are equal. Access to risk finance mechanisms requires: Gate 1: A legal mandate. Gate 2: Revenue and creditworthiness. Gate 3: Knowhow and capacity. These gates are tall and heavy; they may even be locked. Certainly, they are not easy to open without national and international support in the form of political will and financial resources. But that is not a reason not to try. In the full piece linked below I propose three potential action areas. - Small bets before big bets. - Open existing channels. - Build resilience first. If you know of examples where subnational risk finance has worked (or failed) I am interested to know of them. #DisasterRiskFinance #CrisisFinance #Resilience #FiscalHydraulics Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)
