Only 28% of the world’s startups have a woman as a founder. We will see in this article a fictitious team of a startup with only women. The team will be formed by the technological leader, 4 developers, 1 devops, 1 software architect and 1 QA.

She is a member of the Women’s Entrepreneurial and Executive Forum and is a member of the technology practice committee of the Public Relations Society of America.

Her unique ability is to be able to define purpose and impact that the innovator does not even see. Her ability to market is driven by the fact that she is a practical technology enthusiast.

The developers 

Developers need to write code accurately, within the allotted time, in a way that can be easily maintained and improved, in collaboration with their team, and continually improve their knowledge and skills throughout their career.
