Further more, why is their money better for founding companies than somebody else's ?
On top of that. What is the suggestion? Sorry Uber I have already invested in my quota of companies founded by men ?
Even more being founders is not a job position nyou hire for. You have to have something to have a idea and plan. The assertion that they are telling women with amazing ideas that they won't invest them because they are woemen is silly.
Not every idea is a good one. They fund founders who they think have good ideas.
This whole article is silly and flame bait. I wish I had never replied.

The judgement of "amazing" is extremely subjective and vulnerable to unconscious bias on the part of those being pitched to.
Many millions are lost every year by friends and families helping start companies that fail.
As you've seen, there is a huge amount of luck involved as well.
Put another way, every interaction we have with other people, no matter how brief or long lasting, contributes to that person's "luck" based on whether those interactions ended up favorable or unfavorable. If there was a present unconscious bias in a group that slanted the probability of a person's interactions with everyone else in that group (even if it just slanted it a bit) due to a personal characteristic, that would manifest itself as "bad luck" for group of people that had this characteristic who received this statistical slight.
