Visibility + Promotion

One of the underlying ideas of TheNextWomen is to promote business women. Also these business women should put themselves, or should endeavour that they be asked, on stage. Visibility is key nowadays.

Consequently, not only could these women act as role models for aspiring Internet entrepreneurs, another effect of making women visible in the Internet industry from the beginning, is that it may prevent devaluation of the industry at a later stage.

What has happened in some industries when women entered or became visible at a later stage is that the whole profession started to devaluate, in status as well as money wise. This happened, for example, when women entered the education workplace or became judges or doctors. But since the Internet industry is only 4000 days old…, an thus we are at the beginning of an era, it is in the interest for men and women not to let this happen in this industry.

So read and spread the word and let us have your thoughts.
