This comment in and of itself is the same sexist nonsense that silently proliferates the problem. Saying that “well the world has these problems” and correlating it to “well the people facing the problems are just screwed” is disgusting. Also chalking up the entire role of a VC to capitalize for profit removes numerous secondary benefits of USING CAPITAL FOR GOOD. Check your biases before you post
- ivalm 6y agoOriginal poster of this comment chain discussed how investing in female founders can be profit maximizing. The parent of your comment pointed out how it might not be because external sexism poses challenges to female founders which makes them riskier than their male counterparts. I agree that one can (even should) invest for reasons other than strictly profit maximization, but if one invests for profit maximization (as was discussed by comment chain op) then sexism in the broader market definitely has an effect that cannot be discounted.
