Despite significant progress in recent years, women are still underrepresented in the tech and startup industries. The World Bank reports that women make up less than one-third of the global workforce in tech-related fields, and even fewer women of color. It’s a complex issue with causes.
One of the challenges women face in the tech and startup industries is the lack of female role models and mentors. Women often struggle to find support and guidance from other women in this field, which can make it difficult to navigate the industry and build successful careers.

But many women have made a name for themselves in the tech and startup worlds by breaking down these barriers, fighting back, and advocating for greater representation and inclusiveness in their industry.
The Starship women from different parts of the world are a perfect example of this. We’ve collected inspirational quotes from many of them, so make them your role models and inspiration. increase. Let us reflect on their wisdom and courage as we continue to strive for a fairer and just world for all.
