This week Jody and Morgan sit down with Jan D'Alessandro, founder of Blue J Strategies and one of the driving forces behind Pledge 1%, the global movement encouraging companies to pledge equity, profit, product, or employee time for social impact.
Jan shares her path from big law to AOL, venture-backed startups, major exits, and purpose-driven advisory work. They dig into what a general counsel actually does inside a startup, why business-minded lawyers are so valuable, how deals really get done across Silicon Valley, New York, and LA, and why equity should never be treated casually.
They also talk about philanthropy in the startup world, the power of founder-led giving, and why this moment in San Francisco feels electric again with the rise of AI.
A sharp, funny, and insightful conversation about startups, law, leadership, and building businesses that matter.
