On this International Women's Day, base2Services celebrate the remarkable women in IT and those pioneering in SaaS startups. Despite women holding 26.7% of technology-related jobs, they continue to break new ground and challenge the status quo in a field where their representation is critical yet growing at a modest pace. Women entrepreneurs, especially in tech, face significant hurdles, receiving only a minor fraction of venture capital funding, yet their resilience and innovation continue to shape the future of technology and entrepreneurship. However, the journey is far from easy. The industry grapples with persistent challenges, such as microaggressions and a significant disparity in early promotions, which contribute to fewer women in senior roles. This not only affects their career progression but also impacts the diversity of thought and innovation in our field. base2Services' recognizes the vital contributions of women in IT and SaaS startups and are committed to fostering an environment where women can thrive, innovate, and lead. Today, we honor the women in our industry for their perseverance, innovation, and leadership. Let's continue to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion in IT, creating a more vibrant and equitable future for everyone in tech. #iwd2024

👩💻More women in tech means more inclusive products (built for everyone). 👩🏾🔬More women in science leads to better women-focused solutions. 👩🏽💼More women in entrepreneurship equals better solutions and higher ROI for investors. and yet... Only 28% of women work in tech, 35% - in STEM. Only 10% of Female CEOs run Fortune 500 companies. Only 2.1% of VC funding goes to female-founded startups. Why? Becuase of bias. Stereotypes. Lack of role models. Toxic workplaces Bro culture Lack of sponsors Outdated societal norms Harassment and discrimination the list goes on... According to research more diverse companies (including female leaders on boards) perform better financial not talking about better solutions and products, better company culture, fair promotion and compensation. It’s Women’s Month. Don’t just say you “support women” and do nothing. Walk the talk: ✅Hire more women in tech. On leadership levels too. ✅Fund more women-led startups. Big checks too. ✅Promote more women into leadership roles. Invest in their growth. ✅Become an Executive Sponsor of your Women ERG. Sponsor them beyond IWD. ✅Partner with several women-focused organizations like WomenTech Network, Executive Women in Tech (EWIT) #womensmonth #supportwomen #womenintech

The numbers highlighted in these statistics reveal the growing presence of women developers worldwide, yet also highlight the persistent challenges in leadership and startup roles.
