Imagine a future where our daughters wield tech prowess in an industry that not only welcomes but celebrates their contributions—Kris Jenkins of Mobly and a regular on the Elevate podcast joins us to unravel the threads that could weave this vision into reality. With the candidness of a father and the astuteness of a tech maven, Kris dissects the gender diversity puzzle in Utah's Silicon Slopes, shedding light on the transformative power of inclusivity in leadership and the indispensable role founders and investors play in knitting a fabric of opportunity that empowers women from the get-go.

As we pivot to the venture capital terrain, it's evident through Kris's trek to nearly 200 VCs that women bring a nuanced finesse to the funding process, one that enriches the startup ecosystem and challenges the norm. His narratives echo a rallying cry for recalibrated support systems that embolden female founders and leverage the symbiotic strengths of both sexes in venture capital's decision-making maelstrom. Meanwhile, the intimate reflections on his life in Lehi peel back the curtain on the man behind the mission—a family man at heart, threading the delicate balance between the fervor of entrepreneurship and the tapestry of small-town life.
