For startups, having formal plans to address diversity just isn't a priority.
In the past several years, large tech companies including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebookand Intel have started releasing regular diversity reports, along with launching a variety of initiatives and partnerships aimed at boosting the numbers of women and minorities in their ranks, particularly in technical roles. In November, Microsoft said it would tie diversity goals to executives' compensations. Companies like Intel are increasingly vocal about improving their numbers.
Also in the report, 50 percent said their ratio of men and women employees was heavily weighted toward men, while 31 percent said their ratio stood around 50:50. Meanwhile, 61 percent said their boards are completely male.
When asked about why women and minorities are underrepresented in tech, male founders tended to see the root of the problem as a pipeline issue, which refers to the idea that there aren't enough women or minorities entering the tech industry. Women mostly pegged the problem to a lack of role models and factors like unconscious bias during hiring and promotions.
