In this episode of From Failure to Launch, Keira sits down with Gabriela Rocha, cofounder of Laboratoria, to explore her winding journey across continents, languages, and industries — and how she’s helping reshape the future of tech for women across Latin America.

From growing up in Brazil and Los Angeles to co-founding a movement that empowers women from underserved communities to launch tech careers, Gabriela opens up about:

Why she never had a "5-year plan" — and why that’s okay

Building Laboratoria from the ground up

Her belief in learning by doing and student-centered education

Fresh research on gender disparity in tech across Latin America

Maternity penalties, equal pay, and the systems that still need to evolve

What real solutions could look like for working moms and future leaders

Whether you're a founder, a learner, or figuring it all out — this episode is full of honesty, insight, and purpose.
