I don't agree with the mirroring proposed by this post. A true mirror would be a Male Founders Conference focused on the problems that male founders specifically face (maybe dating / work-life balance / fatherhood / fitness / ???). Closing the gender gap is the wrong takeaway (I think).
Having nitpicked the author's take on the FFC, I'll throw out my own: it seems like a mistake to make it a female only event (or am I misreading that?). I could see a lot of value (for women) being generated by having high profile (male) VCs and tech advisors attend the conference as well. Right or wrong, the vast majority of advisors and VCs are men at the moment, and educating them on how to help female founders seems just as valuable as educating the founders themselves.
