Isn't your focus on money bad?

Money is the most visible measure of success in business. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong nor evil with wanting to be productive and make money. As a famous woman philosopher wrote (in tribute to America, but it applies to any capitalist nation):

To the glory of mankind, there was, for the first and only time in history, a country of money—and I have no higher, more reverent tribute to pay to America, for this means: a country of reason, justice, freedom, production, achievement. For the first time, man's mind and money were set free, and there were no fortunes-by-conquest, but only fortunes-by-work, and instead of swordsmen and slaves, there appeared the real maker of wealth, the greatest worker, the highest type of human being—the self-made man—the American industrialist. (Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged")

Of course people choose careers for many reasons and founding million dollar companies is only one of them. But if elite athletes and hollywood actors are considered worthy of adulation, how much more should elite business people, who are the creators and producers behind the wealth we all enjoy, be worthy of it?

In addition, our experience at events to encourage school girls into IT shows that women who choose a career in IT can not only have a satisfying and exciting career, but with the right idea and hard work can even become millionaires, adds excitement and glamour to IT as a career choice, further eroding the barriers to such a choice by putting aside the boring nerd image replacing it with innovation, creation and transformation.
