Episode 5 Beyond Binary Interviews. Women In Tech: Jess Houlgrave


We hear more and more about the need to get more women in tech. More female founders, female funders, and more female panelists at events.

Is it a man's world?

Jess Houlgrave, founder of Codex Protocol and shEOS recently said in an interview with the Spectator that blockchain is  "an industry based on merit. It’s very diverse, very varied politically and geographically — so no one cares whether you’re male or female, it’s about how good you are".

Does that mean there isn't a problem?

We discuss with Jess herself, her thoughts, experiences and theories, on the role of software, society, finance, the media, quotas, regulation and education in correcting the balance.

Do you hate vegans? Why? When they talk about cruelty, does it make you feel uncomfortable?
