]. In STEM fields, women face professional barriers in pursuing careers [5]–[7]. When itcomes to entrepreneurship in STEM, Roach et al. [8] estimate that male Ph.D. students in STEMfields are four times more likely than female students to have intentions to enter the workforce ascompany founders. Low female participation rates in STEM-based entrepreneurship pose several problems:First, to the extent that individuals form companies that solve problems they face or that arebased on their own experiences, the existing population of STEM-based firms is less likely tomeet the needs of women [9], [10]. For example, in an analysis of patent data, Koning et al. [11]found female inventors were more likely to create inventions that address female
