Women in Agtech: Vinsight CEO Megan Nunes on Selling Predictive Tech While Female
Summary
Megan Nunes is CEO and founder of Vinsight, a satellite imagery startup offering vineyards analytics on their operations. Her simple response was, “you just do it.” To which I replied, “Do you know what would happen if I went into a room pregnant trying to fund my company?” We both sort of laughed it off, but the more I thought about this later the more I came to the realization that yeah this is a reality in which we currently live. They are great role models and are paving the way for fellow women, like me, who are going to one day ask themselves the big question of am I ready to start a family and still progress in my career or better yet run my startup? I think we as a community need to work towards the idea that both professional and personal development don’t need to be mutually exclusive and having children doesn’t make you incompetent in the workplace. Utilize it as leverage because their mind isn’t thinking about what you’re going to talk about, so take advantage of the fact that they’ve wasted a good 60 seconds of their brain power in looking at you, and try to make that a positive.
