@sama @ConwayAnderson as long as we're evaluated by, and held to the same standards as male founders - I'm happy

@sama sent an email but also this: work on ways to encourage not just the young, or the flash-in-the-pan ideas geared for tech aqui-hire

@sama some people (non-typical YC types) might want to start a company and have it for its whole lifetime, nurture it, grow it over years.

@sama @CoinBeyond As a #bitcoin #femalefounder Ive been massively influenced by YC for years. FFConf was incredible. What you do is working.

@sama Often Women don´t start Companies as founders bc have multiple concurrent challenges: being a Mom, Wife, care taker if single parent.

@sama great question! Collaboration is key - so starting with orgs that target them - outreach with content, eradicate exclusivity.

@rosalieinc @sama might be better to ask the question: are there females out there who are curious about tech entrepreneurship?
