Summary List PlacementWhen I called up my pregnant founder's husband and said that I wanted to throw his wife a Zoom baby shower, he said, "Great!" When I then said I wanted to surprise her during the baby shower with an unusual proposal to help run her startup so she could go on parental leave, he was more measured. "I hope she says yes." Because, of course, there was zero historical evidence that my plan to take time off from being a VC to help out was not a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad idea.
