Thanks for reminding us. We are thinking about integrating Stripe also.
Personally, I would love to start a top notch offshore software dev company here, but the sad fact is that this country doesn't allow 100% ownership for foreign investors.
Don't get people interested, find people that are interested and lack the resources and opportunity - then help those people. There may also be a lack of interest due to cultural relevance, tech that looks cool and interesting to the west might not in SE Asia, finding local help could improve this.
You mentioned women - If you are concerned about countering artificial biases in tech, ensure fair opportunity, but you cannot expect to force people to be interested. There may be inherent statistical differences in the interest and values of technology as a career between cultures and between genders just as there are with other subject that bias in either direction. The goal should be to counter unfair, artificial biases that result from prejudice, including your own... this is an unpopular opinion, but reality is more complex than SJWs like to think, there are multiple causes for the proportions of minorities in a particular area, and this needs to be understood in order to help people effectively do what they want - in short fighting bias with bias can be harmful.
It's incredibly difficult to broach this subject with anyone publicly in a rational way, let alone widely because the mob has already made up it's mind that if you are not in camp A, then you are evil, since the only alternative in their eyes is camp B. If you can also see the potential harm it can cause, the best you can do is plant seeds with others, and focus on being unbiased yourself, if you want to go deeper then you could even try to explore the sources of the differences (privately) and then enact some informed change - but committing career suicide helps no one.
[edit]
This is probably the most public I've been with this subject and I already feel uncomfortable.
“It mischaracterizes some sex differences as universal”
My sister is also on the spectrum like James has said he is. One of her struggles is ironically in understanding spectra in other areas like gender differences.
Noting the differences in averages and more broadly the distribution is far from saying the differences are universal.
