It infuriates me too, but what are you going to do about it?
Here is the fundamental problem:
Girls are not encouraged to be dangerous at an early age.
People that enjoy or able to endure dangerous things are more likely to take greater risks and thus reap greater rewards. So, at the top echelon of achievement, you have a gender inequality.
It's crazy hard to find good people, so women form a minority in another minority. I'm not surprised at all.
Minorities, perhaps. But they definitely exist. There was zero representation. How can you build a legit network of startup mentors without much diversity?
