The stereotypes really play into what kinds of companies women can get funded for.

There is still a perception that the way women are isn't necessarily what you need for the powerhouse start-ups.

The Internet enables us to share the ideas we have without having to create another hierarchy.

Women are starting something like twice as many companies as men, but the money is primarily going to companies started by men.

If women want to ensure themselves a meaningful place in the future, they need to be among those determining how the technology will be used. They need to be among those deciding whether it will be the great leveler or simply serve to worsen social divisions.

We'll try to be a catalyst for development projects that include women at all levels - in the design and development process.
