This may mean that women are more likely to pick areas for doing a startup that are consistent with the NY startup culture than the SV startup culture.
On the other hand, I can imagine that many startups in NY are funded by well heeled individuals (many of whom are women) in a sort of friends-and-family fashion that is more casual than the VC & Angel style of SV. This is purely speculation, but given my interactions with venture capitalists, I think their thinking and focus is more... conservative and traditional.... and that this may well mean women led companies are less likely to find funding in SV than the same company in NY.
If this perspective is correct, then we may find that with startup crowdsourcing, an even higher percentage of women will get funded than in SV.
