@sama @paulg More diversity & openness. Less beer pong & fooseball, bring in things that women like as well, appeal to our needs/likes

@sama @paulg at our office we do things like "Manicure Mondays" & have 10 min massages. Also, flexible schedules.

@rosalieinc YC?
@rosalieinc oh Y Combinator. It is about role models, female storytelling, mentors, positioning, and approach. Understanding deep obstacles.

@sama After-work events reaching out on those "potential female founders." Drinks + speakers + practical advice on starting a company.

@sama Also, nearly every photo rotating on your homepage is of young men in t-shirts and hoodies. Only spotted 3 women in about 30 pics.

@sama 'encourage' us - we are doing. Start w/ shift in culture, self-awareness/leadership training. Everyone is better for it.
