Meet Monica Murthy, Co-Founder of #HowSheWorks, an inclusive grass-roots community of women and allies - entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals at all stages of their careers and industries. #HowSheWorks is a new community for women in tech. One focused on amplifying the voices of female industry leaders and bringing allies into the conversation.
It’s well known that women are under-represented in tech. And while the situation is slowly improving -- more capital was invested in companies founded or co-founded by women in the fourth quarter of 2018 than any previous quarter in the past decade -- female entrepreneurs face an uphill battle when they seek venture funding. This has to change, and how that starts is women and allies working together, supporting and elevating women in the critical early stages.
