According to the 2010 Silicon Alley 100 listings which rank 100 notable members of the New York Tech community, when broken down by gender, 87% of those listed were male or a team of men. Some say this skewed number is not so much about blatant sexism, but caused by the human inclination to seek out those who look like themselves. The answer to this may lie with first realizing this unconscious bias exists and weighing the important factors when considering whom to seek out. As dramatic as these figures seem regarding women’s representation, the tech industry’s spirit is founded on progressive thought and innovation, unlike some other old boys club type industries. GIT hopes to continue the discussion not only for the tech industry, but also to its extension in finance and venture capital with a live discussion on November 10th!
