10 Women-Friendly Tech Startups
Ten startups released numbers showing how women-friendly they are, as part of the launch of San Francisco startup Doxa.
We’re talking pay gaps, percentage of women at the company (and in tech and leadership), maternity leave, and who gets promoted.
Doxa‘s goal is to help women find equitable places to work that fit their personality. Women can take a personality test and browse company profiles not just by women-friendliness, but also by factors like hours and vacation days, happiness and interconnectedness, average tenure and upward mobility, amount of busy work and meetings per week, and average age. Finding the right place to work is so important because women who quit sometimes don’t just quit the company – they quit the tech industry altogether.
I call these startups “women-friendly” not because their numbers are all impressive, but because they have committed to improvement by making them public. Here they are:
Lyft
Shyp
Kiva
Keen IO
DoubleDutch
Automattic
Instacart
TaskRabbit
Medium
Eventbrite
