Helping Women Succeed in Startups: Introducing Runway

A note from Michelle Lam, Co-Founder & CEO:
I'm extremely proud to announce True&Co's launch of Runway: a workforce re-entrance and career development program designed specifically for female leaders who've taken time off from work for their family. Our office has been buzzing with excitement about several recent baby announcements, and Runway will prepare our Moms-to-Be for a smooth transition in and out of maternity leave. Established companies have had great success with similar programs, and here at True&Co, we're pleased to be the first to offer this program as a more female-oriented, startup company.
