Submitter Statement : MARY MCGLOIN - Co-Creator/Showrunner/Executive Producer/Lead Actor CREATOR'S STATEMENT“Tech Bettys is near and dear to my heart. In addition to being an actress/writer/producer, I have worked many years in tech as a Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer. I have worked in many startups, often being the only woman and sometimes the only QA. I have worked in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and New York and am quite familiar with startup culture. Amanda worked as an office manager at a startup as well. While I am sad that she has stepped away from the project, I am forever grateful that that fateful night at a bar in Brooklyn, she encouraged me to write about my startup job and that she would write it with me. It’s through our collective brains and real experiences at startups that Tech Bettys was born.The characters are all fragments of and collages of different people we’ve worked with over the years and the situations are based on real experiences. While this story is about the women, about the experiences of Cass (the QA Engineer) and Bailey (the Office Manager) all of the characters should come across as real people over stereotypes, and I hope it’s easy to see the multi-dimensionality of their personalities. Where Cass serves as our lead, and tech woman, Bailey is our window into the world for people who aren’t in tech. While you don’t see all the characters in these first episodes, you see the main ones. It is my sincere hope that we can shoot the whole web series, as so much fun lies ahead.”Mary McGloin, 2019
