Alibaba has over 100 million buyers visiting our site every day, and we've created 14 million jobs in China directly and indirectly.

Creating trust was essential for Alibaba's success, especially since people in China were used to face-to-face transactions. In today's world, trust is lacking among people, governments, and media, but e-commerce facilitates 60 million transactions daily, creating a system of trust despite the anonymity between buyers and sellers.

As a female founder, I recognize the importance of diversity in technology companies, especially given the low representation of women in the field.

Founders should actively seek to hire diverse talent, including women, to ensure their products resonate with a wider audience.

The name 'Alibaba' was chosen because it's a global name that people recognize, and it represents trust and opportunity.

23% of the startups that applied to Y Combinator for this batch had a female founder, and we accepted the same percentage of startups with female founders as we had applicants.

We have a diverse team at Ironclad, with 50% women and 40% non-white individuals, showcasing our commitment to hiring the best talent.

I want there to be more women founders of the big companies, the so-called unicorns, because these founders serve as the most influential role models for encouraging more women to start their own companies.

Having a woman on our board for diversity has been crucial, as it brings different perspectives and enriches our company culture.
