    More a case of “people every young TECH software entrepreneur” should follow, me thinks. There are *some* entrepreneurial endeavours actually happening outside of the Silicon Valley bubble…

      Yes and No. : )
      Tech is playing a huge role in Entrepreneurship and in every case, even if you are not a Tech Startup, you need Tech to run it. If you look at the list, you will also find names such as Richard Branson, Elon Musk and even Jack Dorsey who are not building Tech startups at the moment.

    Two women???? Are you kidding me?

    • http://greatpreneurs.com/ Edoardo Moreni

      Hi Susanne,
      I’d probably add Jessica Mah and Jessica Livingston now; but we shouldn’t add women just because we think it’s not fair having too many men. Women should be added for what they have achieved.

      This is what we think: http://greatpreneurs.com/women-in-technology-meaning/

      I do believe there is a problem, but adding more women because it looks bad, it doesn’t solve it. : )
