Those are best understood as two separate statements. Re. remote, we'd prefer to hire in the cities mentioned as those are where our current team members are located, though will definitely consider remote for someone who has the right skills to do this successfully (experience doing it, great communication skills and flexibility, above all an exceptional portfolio).

Separate to that, we are only able to hire within the jurisdictions mentioned, so for your situation you would have to reside in the UK (by my understanding). If you were willing to relocate, great, please do apply!

If you go back now you'll see we've changed the copy.

Thank you! The web design is by Mark Staplehurst (who shared the build with Brett Bergmann). The logotype is Blanche by Atipus via LostType.com and headlines are in Arvo by Anton Koovit via Google web fonts.

Thankfully there will be men talking about women in tech too, since some of our interviewers are male. :)

Appreciate the offer, thanks. Be sure to keep in touch with us and we'll put a call out if this becomes a part of our plans.

All good ideas! We hope our final presentation doesn't disappoint, because we think we have some pretty good ideas ourselves. =) Highlighting women in other cities as guest posts is something we hadn't thought of and I'll be sure to bring that up with the group as something we can potentially add to our long-term plans. Thanks!

Don't have one yet but you could follow us on Twitter and we'll let you know when we do. @womenandtech

Hah! Indeed it does sound funny in retrospect. We knew we'd be dealing with busy women, and that's all we meant to imply, so thank you for giving us the benefit of the doubt. But yes, we're going to go over all the copy with a fine-toothed comb and make sure we intend what we're saying.

We're trying to nail down some of the issues ourselves. The issues our team has discussed so far are often amorphous or interpreted differently depending on context and person, so you can imagine they are difficult to pin down. Exposure and networking were a couple of the harmless problems we thought could help address immediately.

We do have several men on our team (more men than women, in fact), and don't at all intend "reverse sexism".

Also, just to clarify, this isn't just for startup women but for any lady working in tech fields – including those coders who sit behind big monitors all day and are reluctant to put themselves in the limelight or to serve as mentors/role models.
