The reason VCs don’t fund women: they make a choice not to fund women.

It is truly that fucking simple.

We run the same panels every year talking about this like it’s a complicated problem.

“Maybe it’s

-Social standards
-Lack of daycare infrastructure
-Confidence
-Education”

Nope. The truth is ugly.

VCs make a choice, over and over and over again to give another million bucks to another 4 dudes with another productivity startup and then blame anything except their own decisions.

In my experience VC bros are not very versatile socially, even professional social.

So they gravitate toward men like themselves - privileged, predatory, and emotionally challenged.

We're not going to teach them anything, we need to replace them.

@Daojoan Exactly. Same with Black people. It’s not us, it’s them.
