But I think there are two aspects of including more women, or any other underrepresented group, in tech. One is what you mentioned in regard to pushing the state of the art, but the other is providing service to different sectors of the population.
If the primary thing you need as an entrepreneur is to understand the needs and wants of your audience, there's only so far I can go before it's at best a purely intellectual understanding. Same thing with small startups, if they are growing out of scratching my own itch, the lack of women means needs specific to them are much less likely to be addressed.
You're also positioning yourself to compete with Amazon's universal wishlist. If you are going to pursue this project you probably need to find a niche or some differentiator, because right now Amazon's got more features and the financing to do a $2500 drawing every week between now and Dec 18th.
That's hard to compete with unless you can offer a very compelling reason why your service will be better and you make that reason obvious on your landing page.
