I apologize if this comes off as &#x27;mansplaining&#x27;, but I ask this with genuine curiosity:<p>Is the &quot;only&quot; a necessary qualifier in this? 17% is an impressive and laudable number; notwithstanding the plateau effect of recent years. Nearly a third of startup founders are women? That&#x27;s a cool number I honestly would not have known about otherwise and to be genuine, never really even gave thought about.
