Being a female entrepreneur in the male-dominated tech industry is challenging, and comes with a distinct set of barriers. Thankfully, there are several female-led organizations that are working to bring more women into the tech fold.
I asked a panel of successful young female entrepreneurs from the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC), an invite-only nonprofit organization comprised of the world's most promising young entrepreneurs, what challenges women in tech face, and what could help eliminate some of those barriers? Here's what they shared.
1. Women's Organizations Help

3. See the Glass as Half Full
