Crypto We Have a Diversity Problem
summary
LinkedIn data show crypto hiring is 70% men, 30% women (2018–2021) and women’s share falls to 25% last year; a study finds only 5 of 121 founders were women and VCs send about 2% of funding to women. Women hold roughly 28% of crypto assets; CS graduates fell from 35% (1985) to 22% now. Practical responses tested here include educational bootcamps, a speaker bureau, a 24‑hour Twitter marathon, targeted hiring outreach (9 of 13 hires were diverse in one quarter), and role‑model networks.
