In this episode, host Lucy Kind kicks off our "Women in Tech" mini-series with Elle Black, author and founder of Cobalt, a platform that empowers users to design, source, and manufacture their own custom products from high quality suppliers. Elle discusses  her work decentralizing manufacturing and fixing broken supply chains. Lucy asks Elle about the challenges facing women in tech.  Elle talks about how to break the archetype of the successful tech founder as male and the importance of sharing success stories about non-male founders. Lucy and Elle dig into the problem of women in tech being judged by appearances, and Elle expounds on the concept of inclusive prosperity and the importance of giving underrepresented groups the resources they need to thrive.
