The story would be more (or less) compelling if a comparison was made to a wider group of VCs and/or an index of VCs who are credited for investing in female founders.
- lucozade 8y agoThe article does mention a Crunchbase study that found that startups in general have roughly the same proportion of female founded startups as Paypal alumni funded, female founded, startups. It's slightly odd that the article, which clearly intends to be pejorative, is focused on female founders when the data doesn't say anything interesting about female founders. You've have thought with such a small dataset, they could have found something that appeared more damning.
