In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade, major tech companies are tweaking their benefits policies to support and provide health care for women in their workforce. In response to the recent laws impacting employees' health, tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta have extended their benefits to include the expenses necessary to support every employee in their right to make the healthcare choices that are right for them.

Duolingo has already updated their benefits to ensure all employees in the United States have access to reproductive healthcare. Netflix and Duolingo have both included a policy to reimburse the expenses necessary for U.S. employees and their dependants to access abortion services. Tesla is also covering travel costs for employees seeking out-of-state abortions.

GoodRx, a platform helping US citizens access affordable prescription drugs, is set to launch a new “Reproductive Health Center” to provide women with resources around emergency contraception, abortion costs, and access.

While Box, a company that helps people collaborate across the globe, released a statement reaffirming that they are committed to creating a safe, equitable, and inclusive workplace and will continue to offer paid time off and travel and medical expenses for reproductive healthcare services.

While the fight for reproductive rights continues, the tech industry has an opportunity to step up and play a critical role in the safety and security of their women employees and customers.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now

Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
