Sri Lanka's tech sector is predominantly male, with low representation of women tech founders. Ensuring that women are well-placed to compete as technopreneurs will empower them personally and drive development. To date in Sri Lanka there is limited evidence of the types of support women may need to more effectively participate as technopreneurs. This study seeks to fill this gap. With this in mind, SLASSCOM’s Women Technopreneur Forum, together with IFC, deployed a survey to better understand the challenges women technopreneurs face and to design interventions to support their growth using sex disaggregated data.
