Women Are Still a Rarity at Tech Unicorns, Survey Says⁠↗

Male leaders stay at unicorns twice as long as female leaders: The study found that the average tenure for female founders is just 1.78 years, while the average tenure for male leaders is 2.66 years.

Unicorns with more female leaders boast more women in the entire organization: On average 21 percent of leaders at B2B unicorns are women, while women make up only 34 percent of the overall staff population.

In the U.S., where paid maternity leave isn’t a legal right, unicorns that offer it have more female leaders and staff, and the female leaders stay longer.
