GGG & AngelList – a making-of

Tools, methodology, data sources, data output used to produce the article GenderGapGrader: AngelList.

We’ve opened the free GendRE API which extracts gender from names. To make it usable by everyone, we’ve built an extension for RapidMiner, a leading open source data mining and predictive analytics software

So you can run your own gender gap analysis, where and when it matters to you!
