💥 DeepTech’s Unfinished Business: What the Industry Still Gets Wrong About Women Celebrating progress? Sure. But not before we talk about the mess that still needs fixing.

Image
  Let’s be clear: Women in DeepTech are not waiting for a seat at the table anymore—we’re building the damn lab. And yet… we still have to knock louder. Explain harder. Justify longer. Smile softer. Progress has happened—but it’s nowhere near the finish line. At TechSheThink, we’re not just here to high-five the wins. We’re here to point out the gaps, the flaws, the things that still don’t sit right in 2025. Let’s talk about the unfinished business of DeepTech—and why women in AI, quantum computing, cloud infrastructure, and STEM innovation are done with waiting politely. 🧠 Myth: "It’s Better Now, So Stop Complaining." Reality: Better isn’t the same as fair . Yes, we’ve seen growth in the number of women entering tech programs. Yes, there are more women-led startups than there were a decade ago. Yes, DEI policies exist. But let’s not confuse crumbs for cake. Women still hold only a tiny percentage of leadership roles in DeepTech sectors . Female-founded De...

🕶️ Why NOT Branding Yourself in DeepTech Might Be the Boldest Move Yet. Letting your work speak louder than your LinkedIn banner.

Image
  Personal branding. It’s the buzzword slinking into every webinar, every career workshop, every scroll of your “Women in Tech” feed. But here’s a thought: What if not branding yourself is actually the boldest move a woman in DeepTech can make? What if you didn’t have to curate a perfect personal brand, build a follower base, or hashtag your way into credibility? What if the code, the paper, the product, the prototype—you know, your actual work—was enough ? At TechSheThink, we’re all for empowering women to be seen—but we’re also here to question what “being seen” really means in DeepTech. So let’s explore the quiet power of showing up and building brilliant things without a megaphone . 🔬 Welcome to DeepTech, Where Quiet Wins Still Matter Unlike influencer culture or traditional tech entrepreneurship, DeepTech is fundamentally about substance over sizzle . We’re talking: Quantum cryptography. AI-driven protein folding. Neural networks trained on terabytes of c...

🧪 When DeepTech Fails: Lessons from Innovations That Didn’t Quite Work (Yet) Because in DeepTech, “failure” just means “prototype #1.”

Image
  Let’s be real: DeepTech is messy. It’s bold, it’s experimental, and it sometimes sets a pile of VC funding on fire for a concept that just doesn’t pan out. You know what that’s called? Science. And if you're a woman in DeepTech—building startups, writing algorithms, pitching to investors with eyebrows permanently raised— you’ve probably learned more from what didn’t work than from what did . This one’s for the women who shipped buggy software, ran models that broke, or had product launches so quiet you could hear the imposter syndrome creeping in. Let’s talk about failure —and why it’s not just okay, it’s actually core to DeepTech innovation. 🚧 DeepTech Isn’t Supposed to Be Easy DeepTech isn’t a photo filter app or a drop-shipping hustle. It’s: Quantum computing that breaks classical models. AI models that need entire GPUs just to say “hello.” Clean energy solutions that have to scale from lab bench to planet Earth. So when things go sideways—when your edg...

🔬 The Myths Holding Women Back in DeepTech (and Why They're Ridiculous). Spoiler: None of these myths are based in reality—but we’re dismantling them anyway, just for fun (and feminism).

Image
  Let’s talk about DeepTech—where neural networks dance, quantum computing flirts with the edge of physics, and AI learns faster than your caffeine-fueled brain during finals week. Sounds thrilling, right? Unless, of course, you’re a woman. Because somehow , in 2025, there are still people clutching onto outdated, dusty myths about who belongs in DeepTech—and who doesn’t. Well, we’ve brought the data, the sass, and a whole lot of sense to burn those myths to the ground . Let’s get myth-busting, TechSheThink style. 🧠 Myth #1: “Women just aren’t as technical.” Let’s translate that: “I’ve never worked with a woman who out-coded me, and that makes me nervous.” The idea that women don’t have the technical chops for DeepTech is… cute. If you live under a rock and still think punch cards are high-tech. Here’s the real story: Women are leading research in quantum computing , bioinformatics , and cloud infrastructure . Top AI labs are hiring women scientists in record numbe...
