Why Women Rule the Web

Published

Just  wanted to share theses bits of statistics which whem stitched together and seen as a whole paints an interesting picture of the role of women and the web. And as I personally work to get more women in the tech sector generally and more so as entrepreneurs specifically, I am encouraged by the following information.

-As more consumers reach for their smartphones and tablets to shop and communicate, there is a pressing need for commerce sites that cater to women, who control 70% of online purchases worldwide.

-Women will influence the purchase of $15 trillion in goods by 2014, according to Boston Consulting Group.

“Female users are the unsung heroines behind the most engaging, fastest-growing and most valuable consumer Internet and e-commerce companies,” says venture capitalist Aileen Lee.

-60% of Facebook’s membership ( the site expects to hit 1 billion people in August this year) is female.

-As the ecosystem becomes more supportive, you will see more companies created.

-The number of women starting tech companies in America has doubled the past three years, according to an informal poll by Women 2.0. –

-It is exciting to see so many (women-led) companies. But it is a long journey, and there are many stages to that journey to be successful. Source of info: ladyromp.com
