The Real Housewives of Silicon Valley?

A panel of young female entrepreneurs weighs in on women in technology; the challenges of being a female entrepreneur in the male-dominated tech industry.

Scott Gerber (@askgerber), founder of the Young Entrepreneur Council and author of ‘Never Get a Real Job,’ assembled a panel of young female entrepreneurs to weigh in on the challenges of being a female entrepreneur in the male-dominated tech industry. The panel came up with 7 seriously awesome tips that reflect my line of thinking on the matter.

This “Link Round Up” is going to be different!

Sure, we’ll kick it off with a picture of an adorable animal, like we always do, but this time SheBytes pays tribute to a wide array of blogs that we read, draw inspiration from and consistently turn to in hours of procrastination.

Fashion and Technology MIX!

Mashable published a great article about Rent the Runway; I got excited when I read it and so I decided I ought to paraphrase it for a couple of reasons:

1. I love inspiring women; and Rent the Runway was started by two female entrepreneurs
2. It’s a company that melds fashion and technology
3. Rent the Runway makes haute luxury fashion affordable 
4. It’s about women in high-tech; an uber minority

I’m rather obsessed with Social Media (an understatement at best). Apparently, so is Snoop Dogg!  Social Media is a broad term that means much more than “the use of web-based…technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue.”
