Always. It's not so much a barrier to entry problem on Product Hunt but it's more so an issue with the pipeline. If you really think about it, you're essentially asking why aren't there more women in STEM and entrepreneurship in general.

It's not that we need them, but it's just that we don't see many of them . It would be amazing to see more women here hunting products :-) Founder world is filled with men, engineering world is filled with men, so it's only natural to see more men building and supporting new products and launches. Those female numbers are growing though, so it may be reflected in the PH Hunter demographics soon too.
@simona_o_neill3 I agree, Simona!
Since I was a manager in the Software world, I tried to bring more diversity.
It's incredible how this can boost creativity and innovation!
PH is an open platform and everyone is a Hunter and a Maker.
The bottom line is, all souls (regardless of their genders) are Hunters and Makers here. :)
Definitely. I agree that this ties back to a lack of representation in tech leaders. Diversity in leadership and ideas helps us better serve the diversity of our customers.
None of the women in my family are interested in engineering, product, or startups. So they’d never be on product hunt. I fully support women that want to be involved, founders/CEOs etc, but sometimes they prioritize family or don’t have an interest in the startup world and I support that as well. Every person is different. What matters is we have equal opportunity for everyone should they choose one path over another.
I 100% agree, @olenabomko
And I would extend it: we need more diversity in general. Diversity brings fresh ideas :)
There are less than 10% of women on the Upvotebell leader board so I would say so: https://upvote-bell.com/leaderboard
Do you plan to start hunting yourself?
Hey there, as someone who has delved deep into the world of tech and startups, I can definitely see the value in having a diverse range of perspectives and experiences in the product hunting community. Diversity, including gender diversity, can only enrich our discussions and help us uncover new and innovative products. So, to answer your question, yes, we do need more women-hunters! Let's keep the conversation inclusive and the product discoveries thriving. Cheers to a more diverse and vibrant community!
