I wonder if there are better models that might work with a bit of help from everyone involved, that don't amount to taking medical risks and delaying children more than any man ever would?

Such as: being a founder comes with a lot of work, but also some power. To the degree that bringing children to work is mostly a problem of co-workers rolling their eyes, could a confident founder make them stop doing that?

Since that would probably still be somewhat stressful, could a pair of founder-parents pull it off? And/or could on-site childcare make it work? For a VC-backed startup, the costs wouldn't seem to be prohibitive?

(I maybe naive here, considering some of the tales I've heard of how women are still seen/treated in the industry)
