Becoming a Unicorn shouldn't be the measurement of success that every entrepreneur strives for, but encouraging to see the increase in female-founded ones nonetheless: news.crunchbase.com/news/female-fo…

My new @OECD op ed 👇🏼. We risk leaving women (esp those working in low-paid and insecure work) behind in the #futureofwork. Women know that access to education & training is critical but we have big gaps right now. oecd-forum.org/users/263117-r… #OECDforum @SydneyUni_Media

If women played an identical role in labor markets to that of men, as much as $28 trillion, or 26%, could be added to global annual GDP by 2025. Gender inequality is therefore not only a pressing moral & social issue but also a critical economic challenge. mckinsey.com/featured-insig…

London Tech Week is a wrap for me! Thanks @Founders_Forum for a series of inspiring and insightful events at #FPF19, #AccelerateHER and #FFLDN. Great to also see the topic of Tech for Good and @TheGlobalGoals playing an increasingly prominent role throughout the week. #LTW

Our #SafetyImpactChallenge EU roadshow continues 🇫🇷🇪🇺 What a great afternoon in Paris with diverse CSOs working tirelessly to counter cyber bullying / racism against women / hate in schools against migrant children. Applications open until 28 June! impactchallenge.withgoogle.com/safety2019/pro… pic.twitter.com/fEsSRSkZXi

Reflecting on our session on @TheGlobalGoals at #FFLDN. Each of us in tech/startup community can & must play a role, in order to achieve them by 2030. Many great solutions out there, eg. @charitywater (Goal 6) or @Kiva (Goal 10) - need to put idle capital to work to help scale. pic.twitter.com/zQBLiCAewO

Really @Founders_Forum, 13 men speaking in a row in the opening session with not one single woman?! There are so many incredible female and diverse leaders in your tech community (some of whom are thankfully talking later), there's no reason for not being 50/50. #FFLDN

Impact investing can play a large role in solving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Money can't come from governments alone - we need the tech and VC industry to step up and invest in startups that are having a positive social impact. #FFLDN

I borrowed them from @shinisomara and @andrewgrill, who had a better vantage position than I did! (Thanks!)

Where are all the female engineers? 'We have to not only work hard to attract more women into tech, but work hard to retain them. Key: Culture. It's really hard if you always feel different in a room. You need to create teams where everyone feels welcome.' #AHLDN #AccelerateHER pic.twitter.com/UhGEeoTKfi

Inspiring panel on the Global Goals at #CogX19. One thing everyone can and should do today is to read them and see what you, your company or organisation can do to help advance them. Only a collaborative effort will succeed - and time is ticking. sustainabledevelopment.un.org/sdgs pic.twitter.com/thvSDD8zHo

We need to give social entrepreneurs and NGOs room to pivot and iterate, take risks, and yes, even fail, to then find the best solutions and paths forward. We need to be honest about what works, and share what doesn't. @Jacqfuller @FoundersPledge #FPF19 pic.twitter.com/LqQpdvNba4

@AlixZwane To your question of efficiency: Foundations and corporates can use their philanthropic capital to more quickly and efficiently work with NGOs to prove out a model than a govnt can (ie in education), - but govnts are essential to then scale the solution. #FPF19

If we want to solve the problems of tomorrow, we need to be more strategic and bold in our approach, take risks, and make use of transformational technology. @AlixZwane on why we need venture philanthropy. #FPF19 pic.twitter.com/7arRXd4e1G
