As one of many typically male-dominated industries, technology buffs should be bowing down to the women who have pursued these careers. These ladies have been hard at work and making some serious impact. Whether she’s a venture capitalist, engineer, founder, co-founder, CEO, or COO, it’s clear these amazing women have accomplished so much by the ripe age of 30. When you consider the fact that women leave the industry at twice the rate that men do, a recent list of 30 important women under 30 in the tech industry shows us that we need more women in the tech world, not less!
