This implication reads as pure projection in your part. There is absolutely nothing else in the title or article to substantiate it. The author as a woman more likely just used the term as she is a woman and indeed the sole founder/worker of the company.

The simple fact that is in English language "man" is often used to apply to both sexes, the most common one being "Man"kind, another example being "Chairmanship". A company being run by a single person is understood to be a "one-man" company even if it is run by a woman, because the emphasis is on the fact of being run by a single person rather than a single person of a particular sex. PS. Have HN users become a downvote happy bunch in recent years, or is it just my imagination?
