"Where the Women Aren't?" -- They are not learing CS for sure. My Computer Science class, had about 2 women and 40 guys.
I am assuming you have to be an engineer, or very tech savy person to be able to be in startups as a founder, and it seems that the lack of women in the techrunch award show, was about right.
In another anectodal evidence, I could tell where there were women. At the Afterparty!
A lot more women. Mostly nobody's, and few of the usual vapid gdiggers, and social climbers.
Also, from the 8-9 people I talked to in the after party, only one was an engineer. The rest were 'wanterpenerous'.
