She lied about her age and her graduation date, and then a few other things.
What's the point of lying about your age? I can't imagine a 36 year old is less likely to be funded than a 42 year old?
- lnanek2 7y agoDoes it say she made herself look older? Investors generally prefer younger AFAICT. It's assumed if someone is 42 and not successful yet, they never will be, but someone 20 has a chance and will be more in touch with modern technology. A lot of Y-combinator events target high schoolers, even. IBM has also gotten in trouble a lot for unfairly eliminating old people. I would think she would have made herself look younger.
- greenyoda 7y agoThe article says her actual age was 42 (according to voting records), but she claimed to be 36.
