It is interesting to contrast the state of women entrepreneurship in the US with that of the developing world. If you look at startup activity there you find women dominate the scene. More than 80 percent of most microfinance loan portfolios go to fund women-led startups. Kiva also sees 80 percent of the loans on its side go to women. Granted, these are very different kinds of startups than US-based tech companies, but it is quite a contrast nonetheless.
