I generally think of the whole dating web-site vertical as a bit sleazy. I'd be interested to know what percentage of the investors they pitched outright dismissed them on these grounds (psychologically it may have happened before even hearing the pitch).
- smoyer 12y agoEDIT: I should also mention that the behavior these ladies were subjected to is completely unacceptable. My comment above wasn't in any way condoning the investors but rather trying to point out that it may (in general) be harder to get investment in a dating application. It may also be true that it's harder to get investments as a female founder (I suspect it is) but we're talking about a single instance. As YC grows the number of female-led start-ups, they should be able to slice this data multiple ways - by vertical, male/female founders, etc.
