i thought the virtual absence of women was interesting. Jessica Mah got two paragraphs near the end, Demi Moore a passing mention, and Jessica Livingston merited two sentences. she co-founded YC and is married to Paul, and they couldn't even ask her for a quote?
other than that it was guys, guys, guys. http://bit.ly/ycturgor2 http://bit.ly/ycturgor2 has more.
- GDH 16y agoVery true, Forbes often overlooks the women behind innovation. They tried to make up for it with the 100 most influential women issue last month, I would much rather see them include a few more articles each month on the subject.
- axod 16y agoThat's because most founders are guys? It's like the leaflet I got from our local hospital the other day. It features on the cover an african, an indian, a few other minorities, and one small white person. It's like they're trying way too hard to appear diverse. (The area it serves is probably 90%+ white). I'd rather they project what is actually out there.
- ig1 16y agoJL got more of a mention than Morris or Blackwell. I don't think the article writer chose to avoid or include women particularly, rather it just reflected the subject matter they were writing about.
