The answer is simple and its not a sexist one. Basically Women aren't in the start up.
When the company is at its infancy anyone can join, contribute and even invest, because a startup needs as many passionate people as possible irrespective of their sex. But take a moment and think about how many women join start ups or even start their own start up.
Two women ,one can think off that wouldn't have this problem of a male dominated room are
Sara Blakely (born February 27, 1971) an American businessperson and founder of Spanx, an American intimate apparel company with pants and leggings, founded in Atlanta, Georgia.In 2012, Blakely was named in Time magazine's "Time 100" annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. As of 2014, she is listed as the 93rd most powerful woman in the world by Forbes
and
Elizabeth Anne Holmes (born February 3, 1984) is an American businesswoman, and the CEO of Theranos, a blood test company founded in 2003.
These two women founded their companies hence I encourage more women to take that leap of faith only men seem to be taking and start up a company today instead of fighting for a piece of an already baked cake, why not bake yours today.
