Sightseeing in Copenhagen, chiuki says "you trucked me into a graveyard". We are in a graveyard. Copenhagen has beautiful graveyards.

Data comparison on fundraising rates, clear to me why women much more likely to bootstrap buff.ly/1t6rC17 /by adamquinton
-
RT shanley: "I heard you care about diversity in tech so I'm here to collect free labor from you." lol.
-
caitiem20 and weddings!
-
adamquinton yes true but until changes rational to put effort into bootstrapping rather than chasing funding. Catch-22.
-
adamquinton yep totally possible just saying rational to choose not to play a game where the odds are stacked against you.
-
adamquinton women run businesses are less likely to get VC and a huge exit... But also less likely to fail.
-
adamquinton given constraints of funding and also men judged on potential, women on past performance, rational. Women choose another game.
-
adamquinton which game, and define winning? Many profitable women run businesses, without vc money. Sounds like winning to me!
-
dantoml <3
-
IMO there is every reason for women starting companies to choose bootstrapping over VC. First - look at the numbers. Odds stacked against.
-
Secondly, women are starting companies and failing less than men. Choosing another way - bootstrap. Gain time (no VC pitches!) and freedom.
-
Depends what goal is. Anecdotally men want $$$ and women want control over their careers/lives. Data suggests women making rational choices.
-
Not that I wouldn't love to see more $bn companies founded by women. But shouldn't discount what women are doing - finding another way.
-
adamquinton SPANX there are many to choose from :) and in the developing world. Many female entrepreneurs on Kiva!
-
