NEW YORK – Women of Sex Tech has named Lauren MacEwen, chief executive officer for 7Veils.com, to its Female Founders list.

Women of Sex Tech represents artists, creators, entrepreneurs, journalists, educators, innovators and engineers in more than six cities globally. The organization’s mission is to change the way the world views human sexuality and create a community that fosters femme-identifying entrepreneurship. More than a small group of female founders, WST is a movement aimed at illuminating the contributions women make to the tech realm every minute.

“I’m honored to be involved with Women of Sex Tech because I think the work we are doing is important, and if you look at the list of Founders you will see that they take their vetting process quite seriously,” MacEwen said. “It has suddenly become somewhat trendy to take a female-forward approach to tech, but when you get beyond the flight of fancy some media outlets are engaged in, it’s really important to focus in on the organizations that have a long-term approach and a much more inclusive world view.”

As The New York Times recently reported, “Women of Sex Tech is a tech-savvy and female-led women’s sexuality movement that has made its home in New York instead of, say, Silicon Valley. Women, many of them under 40, are updating sex toys and related products with their own needs in mind and leading the companies that sell them.”
