Virtual sessions are a lot different with an unhappy child in the background. Working on a new prototype can be even more challenging when an infant thinks it is a toy. With increased remote work comes a new work-life balance, and no one has been affected more by this current reality than parents — especially mothers looking to start a business. A record number of women entrepreneurs are putting a pause on their work to help support their child’s needs.

Join Andrea Ippolito, founder and CEO of SimpliFed, Director of Women Entrepreneurs in STEM at Cornell University, and a lecturer in the College of Engineering, as she talks about the opportunities and challenges women entrepreneurs face. With two small children of her own, Ms. Ippolito is an expert on starting a company and watching it grow while concurrently ensuring that her children thrive.
