Q&A. Why Is There a Dearth of Women on High-Growth Technology Startup Teams?

摘要

A. I have been working with women entrepreneurs in Canada since 2001, when I sold my shares in a dot-com company I started with workcolleagues. We were a team comprised of men and women, each with an equal share of the company. I had an epiphany that year, and realizedthat women could make a lot of money from being part of such a startup team. The technology field was stimulating and exciting. I would say about90% of the programmers in our 50-person company were male, and mostly from Waterloo. About half the project managers and creative talentwere female.
