Jill Tang 认为，中国科技行业对女性创业者较为友好，但性别多元化仍然是一个普遍问题。她指出，科技领域缺乏女性榜样，导致女性参与度低，需要创造更平衡的环境。她还提到，投资界对女性创业者的刻板印象和无意识偏见导致错失良机，女性创业者在职场中仍然面临许多劣势，例如刻板印象和无意识偏见。Ladies Who Tech 的目标是通过展示女性在科技领域的成就，而非强调性别差异，来促进性别平等。她认为现在是中国推动科技行业性别多元化的最佳时机，因为跨国公司已经积累了相关经验，推动性别多元化不仅能带来经济效益，还能产生社会影响。跨国公司在中国推动性别多元化主要出于招聘、产品设计和社会影响三个方面考虑。相比国内科技公司，跨国公司在性别多元化和工作生活平衡方面做得更好，但中国科技公司对性别多元化持开放态度，只是需要更有效的激励机制。实现性别平衡需要从招聘环节入手，确保候选人池子的平衡。中国科技公司在多元化和包容性方面不如跨国公司，但一旦意识到其重要性，推进速度会很快。 Tom Xiong 主要就中国科技行业中的性别多元化和创业环境与 Jill Tang 进行探讨，并就跨国公司和国内公司在多元化方面的差异，以及中国创业者的发展趋势等问题进行提问。
