Founded: A new podcast focuses on women who lead

When women-led businesses are supported, funded and have the opportunity to scale, the economy grows. We recently supported a research report on women entrepreneurs in the U.S. from Endeavor Insight which showed that in 2017, more than 1.1 million women-led businesses generated nearly $1.5 billion in revenue and created more than 10 million jobs. 

The report goes on to highlight that if businesses founded by women grow to employ 50 or more people, they can potentially generate over 4 million new jobs and add over $500 billion in additional productivity each year to national GDP. Despite this, many industries, including the technology sector,  still continue to face significant gaps in gender parity. In 2019, only 2.8 percent of all VC funding went to women tech founders. 

Women founders deserve visibility and recognition, which is why Women Techmakers and Google for Startups joined forces to create a new podcast series called Founded. The podcast, built upon the original Founded video series, interviews women tech founders from across the globe. 

Cofounded and hosted by Rana Abdelhamid, each episode will highlight women whose passion and drive led them to grow and scale successful businesses. Their companies are tackling some of the world’s most pressing issues, solving challenges from improving medical diagnosis with AI to using technology to help make learning tools more inclusive.

Founded is not just about their businesses, but the women behind them. 

Our launch series includes six inspiring founders:

  • Layla

    Layla Shaikley is the Cofounder and VP of CX at Wise Systems, which uses data-driven technology to improve transport operations.

  • Tanya

    Tanya Sam is a tech-savvy investor that has made it her mission to empower the next generation of minority entrepreneurs.

  • Noura

  • Sanskriti

    Sanskriti Dawle is the CEO and Cofounder of Thinkerbell Labs, a company focused on making education more inclusive. Thinkerball Labs is also the creator of Annie, the world’s first self-learning braille literacy device.

  • Hande

    Hande Cilingir is the Cofounder and CEO of Insider, an AI-powered growth management platform for marketers.

  • Jairishi

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
