(Originally aired 3/5/18) Guest: Cristal Glangchai, PhD, Founder and CEO, VentureLab, Author of “Venture Girls,” Director of Blackstone LaunchPad, University of Texas at Austin, Director of Texas Entrepreneurship Exchange, UT Austin Women hold only a quarter of the jobs in science, technology, engineering, or math (or STEM) fields, according to the US Department of Commerce. There have been all sorts of initiatives across the country to boost that number, but Cristal Glangchai says we haven’t gotten to the root of the problem: teaching young girls to be entrepreneurs. So she founded the non-profit “VentureLab” to do that and her new book is called “Venture Girls.” Learn more about VentureLab here.
