????Support and leverage formal networks: Access to networks can bring capital and expertise to women founders. There are many groups focused on women in tech such as The Anita Borg Institute, Astia, Girls in Tech, Springboard Enterprises, Women Inspiration Enterprise (WIE), NCWIT, Women 2.0, and Forte. Networks such as these can help create job opportunities and internships for women in startups, showcase women entrepreneurs and help women develop their entrepreneurial skills. At the same time, women also need to become involved in the networks available to male entrepreneurs – not just separate groups for women. ????Bringing more women into the entrepreneurial sector will bring a more diverse range of ideas and innovative offerings to our economy. With only 10% of venture-backed startups now co-founded by women and women representing such small numbers in the investing community, we can readily increase the creative power of this critical economic engine. This will have positive effects not just for women, but for all of us who will benefit from the jobs they create and the products and services they bring to market. ????Marissa Mayer joining Yahoo as its CEO Monday is a great signal that we are widening the tent for all to participate in leading the tech revolution. ????Jack Hidary is a startup investor and co-founder and former CEO of Dice.com (DHX).
