Thank you for sharing this article. How much do you really think luck takes into account? Also, the remark about the "he (it's almost always a "he")" opens up the discussion about the role of women in start-ups. I'm a female entrepreneur and designer. Yes, I think Apple is great. Yes, Google is swell. What about successful companies started by women? As a designer, I draw inspiration from our surroundings and experiences. I have become accustomed to learning from the success of famous men in tech. What about the women?

As noted in the post, I don't put much stock in luck at all. It's great to have some, but it's too elusive to bank on. As for the lack of women in start-ups, I don't really know what the answer is. There are people like Cher Wang at HTC, but they certainly are the exception more than the rule. I have some hunches as to why this happens, but no definitive answer. It is, however, a problem that needs to be addressed--and at very least discussed.
