This is probably true also for evaluating entrepreneurs where blindest is even greater (I call it "young white male syndrome").
It seems like if an entrepreneur is a little different (black, hispanic, women, little eccentric, older, etc.) he/she need to act and behave like "white young male" in order get noticed and funded. However, in that case he/she might be hiding the characteristics which will make them "rock star".
