I just read the headline, but whenever someone quotes an astounding growth figure, you should ask about the base [1].
If you start a startup with one female engineer (maybe your total staff is 3-5 plus the founder(s)), and then you get funded and suddenly have the money to hire a couple dozen people, it's easy to see the possibility of having 500% growth.
