I am building a company with a currently balanced audience of 47% Women and 53% Men. But the most interesting thing is that most of the people who are interested in working in the company are women.

So I thought I'd find a Technical Co-Founder and Investor (Woman) to help me get this company to the IPO in 7 years.
