> if they can simply get someone with the right tech skills. I think this may definitely be part of it. If diversity has any effects, then it's quite likely they're outweighed by other business factors that may have a bigger influence on the success of the company (like financial backing, an original/meaningful idea, high levels of skill in tech/design/marketing, simply being in the right place at the right time to capture an upcoming market, etc). But perhaps it may be visible in a situation with evenly matched companies on all those other things.
