In The Soup: What Does Ageism Look And Feel Like For Younger Founders

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. That’s why in today’s episode of In The Soup, hosts Jenn Summe of Primordial and Melissa Crosby of Colopy Ventures talk with younger founders from the Triangle about experiences in which they’ve felt manipulated or commandeered due to their age.

The guests are Tai Huynh of Acta Solutions and Lauren McCullough of Tromml.

If you have your own experiences where you felt pressured by ageism—whether because you were younger or older than most peers—feel free to send your thoughts and comments to soup@grepbeat.com or on GrepBeat social media.
