No Startup Left Behind

You can bring your dog to work. You can drink a beer in the office. Heck, you've got unlimited vacation days. But want to take some time off to care for your newborn child? That's a little trickier.

San Francisco's new paid leave policy is a great step in the right direction, but it doesn't apply to many startups and small businesses. How can small companies that want to build inclusive environments from the ground up make paid leave work? 

Join New America for a conversation with tech startups across the city who have successfully navigated the challenging terrain of paid leave to find out how you, too, can create a policy that works in your company, and why having paid leave is ultimately better for your bottom line.
