[Commentary] Twitter, Facebook, Zynga, Groupon and Foursquare -- none of them have any women as directors. As in zero.
What’s most remarkable is that most of these start-ups are run by what I consider enlightened and open-minded entrepreneurs, mostly young enough to be part of a generation more inclined to value equality and diversity in the workplace. In addition, each of these companies has a massive base of women consumers, in some cases well over 50 percent of its audience.
