State of Women in Tech and Startups Report, Allyson Kapin Interview

This episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast – Interview Series, is part of our Women in Tech and features Women Who Tech’s Allyson Kapin. Kapin is  the founder of Women Who Tech, the largest network of women-led startups, investors, and allies working to increase diversity and funding in tech. Women Who Tech is a nonprofit organization working to build a culture and inclusive economy focused on accelerating women tech entrepreneurs and closing the funding gap.   Women Who Tech conducted The State of Women in Tech and Startups 2020 research study to identify what barriers and challenges people face in the tech sector, and also to help track whether the systemic sexism and racism that respondents experience have shifted since the organization’s 2017 survey. Did the #MeToo movement play a role? What happened to gender parity, or investors’ perceptions around gender parity in tech and whether investors believe gender plays a role in access to funding? Has anything changed since 2017?   You can get The State of Women in Tech and Startups 2020 Report here.   Disclaimer: This show is for information and entertainment purposes only.
