The author seems clear to me that she is considering both racism and sexism.
> Curiously, when I used my husband’s email to send our pitch, that’s when I started getting some responses. Do VCs only read pitches submitted by men? Do they prefer to hear from someone who is Asian rather than Black?
- henriquez 6y agoSo she assumes bad faith but isn’t sure of the exact nature of that bad faith, meanwhile the merits of her pitch or business idea are not even a factor in her discussion of why she could have been rejected. (Let’s see, a personal trainer app when people are quarantined ...) I’ve seen numerous other founders here on HN handle rejection with more humility and constructive resolve. I don’t think the author is doing herself - or her husband - any favors with this kind of response.
