On January 21, 1998, the price of Computer Associates common stock fell nearly 7 10% and closed at $47.25 per share following its announcement the night before that its sales of client-server products, during its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1997, failed to achieve - - - , expected growth . In an effort to reverse this decline and reassure the investment community that • .. their concerns as to Computer Associates' growth prospects were unfounded, defendants dispatched Computer Associate? CEO, defendant Sanjay Kumar ("Kumar"), to hold a series of • . meetings with securities analysts and investors commencing on January 27, 1998. During these - - meetings, defendant Kumar assured the investment community that the Company's financial - condition and business prospects were sound and falsely stated that the Company was not planning any significant business acquisitions. As a direct result of Kumar's statements during these meetings, Computer Associates common stock began its rOmmd on January 27, 1998 and continued to do so during the s Period, reaching a high of $58 1/16 per share on February 10, f 1998.

Nolan Bushnell & INNOVATION founded Atari with hit game Pong and launched the video game industry. Two fi rms opened that evolved to defi ne Silicon Valley–style venture capital. Kleiner Perkins subsequently invested in Amazon, Genen- tech, Google, Intuit, and more than 500 other ventures; Sequoia provided venture fi nance for Apple, Oracle, Cisco, Google, Instagram, and hundreds of other fi rms which now have an aggregate public mar- ket value of over $1.4 trillion. Less well known, 1972 also marked Sandra Kurtzig’s founding of ask Group, a software fi rm that eventually achieved $400 million in annual sales. A math major from ucla with a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering from Stanford, Kurtzig used $2,000 in savings to fi nance her foray into the uncharted waters of entrepreneurship. She later recalled that in that era “a woman starting her own company was considered a pariah, a piranha, or both.” In 1981, ask completed its initial public offering (ipo), making Kurtzig the fi rst woman to take a Silicon Valley technology company public. Unfortunately, Kurtzig’s actions did not trigger a spate of women as entrepreneurs to move center stage. DEBUGGING ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR WOMEN IN SILICON VALLEY 41 Tandem NonStop Systems founder.” Commenting on the cultural advertisement. milieu of the Valley in the mid-1990s, Anita Borg, a senior researcher at Digital Equipment Corporation in Palo Alto, cited the “invisible-woman syndrome,” where women’s ideas were discounted or ignored.
