78% of Y Combinator Startups Have No Female Founders – And That’s Progress
- minimaxir 12y agoInteresting use of statistical framing in the headline: 78% of YC startups have no female founder vs. 22% of YC startups have atleast one female founder, as mentioned in the article.
- gamechangr 12y agoI'ld say 7 out of ten programmers are men. Seems like they are keeping with the probability.
- minimaxir 12y agoThe point is that the statistics are the exact same, but one makes a much more baity headline.
- nofinator 12y agoI don't think the headline "Only 22% of YC Startups have a Female Founder" is any less glaring.
