What do we mean by overlooked?

You might have heard the term underrepresented in this context. But we feel that overlooked is the more accurate description of what is currently happening.

Cambridge Dictionary states: “If a type of person or thing is under-represented in a group or organization, there are not enough of them in it.” And in the tech industry, this very clearly translates into women and minority founders.

Not convinced? Check out the Trillion-Dollar Blind Spot (2018) and the Report on Women Entrepreneurs in Europe (2020).

Why the name defty?

Because. Urban dictionary never lies.1
