For years, the public face of the technology industry (particularly in the artificial intelligence sector) has been predominantly white and overwhelmingly male. The statistics are glaring: For every dollar a male founder makes, his female counterpart will earn just 39 cents; at high-profile companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google, the ratio of male to female employees is 3:1; the number of women in leadership roles across the industry remains embarrassingly small. “Going from being an engineer to a founder to an investor [with Sequoia Capital]” gave Drive.ai cofounder @creiley82 (above) a chance to inspect the gender imbalance problem from multiple angles. “There are studies that show even if a male and female pitch the same pitch, the male is 70 percent more likely to get funded,” she says. Once they get funding, “people like to hire people who look like them, and it becomes harder and harder as your company grows larger, because no one wants to be the first female after there are 20 men already there.” As AI becomes more prevalent and machines continue to learn, ethical concerns have risen surrounding what and who is teaching them; tap the link in our bio to read more.

Today we are releasing the 2019 edition of #AmericanWomen, a portfolio of resilience, innovation, beauty, and daring, from the Arizona Border to the shores of Oahu and the snowy wilderness of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. For this annual series, we are highlighting the stories of ten extraordinary groups of women on the West coast of this should-be-great, can-do-better country.
