Women in leadership care more about the public good and are more inclusive and

socially compassionate than men.

Companies w/women founders, board members, C-level

officers, VPs and/or directors have greater chance of going public, operating profitably or being sold for more

money than they have raised. Dow Jones Venture Source, Women at the Wheel: Do female executives drive

startup success? 2012.

Collective group intelligence is higher when…there are more women in a group. Woolley, A.W., Chabris, C. F., Pentland, A., Hashmi, N. & Malone, T. W.
