I want to agree with you because I find Vivek's writings repetitive, highly subjective, and often misleading. But to be fair, without seeing the study I can't be sure whether he's talking about startups or entrepreneurs in general. The title of the article is Five myths about entrepreneurs, but the content seems geared toward the tech sector. Unfortunately, the excerpt doesn't say which 12 "high-growth" sectors the study focused on.
> 4. Women can’t cut it in the tech world.
Vivek throws out this straw man (straw woman?), but other than a rare sexist I don't hear anyone saying that. There may be observations that the number of women in tech is low - and a lot of speculation as to why - but no one's saying women can't cut it.
