Anyone who’s attended a South African startup event in the past few years is all too aware of the fact that there’s still a massive gender disparity in the space. A 2013 survey by the Silicon Cape initiative revealed that among tech startups, some 80% of people involved in the space are male.
That’s slightly worrying given that, on the whole, female entrepreneurs are closing the gap on their male counterparts. According to the most recent Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report, some 58% of South Africa’s entrepreneurs were men and 42% women.
