Okay, sure women founders may start relatively more consumer companies and fewer high tech and biotech companies. An those consumer companies may require much less capital. But as the article states, its not just transaction size, but total # transactions as well.

I do believe we are now having a different conversation. If I can poorly paraphrase, I understood your argument to be 1) women may not represent in industries VCs like 2) it’s labor / overhead intensive to extend beyond classic industries No?
Sort of? Industry is one axis, but I dunno; it's a hypothetical. My point is that I wouldn't be surprised if there are correlates re: gender, age, location, etc. that reveal weaknesses in the VC model rather than systemic bias, and perhaps the solution is more funding models?

Oh I am 100% in agreement that it’s systematic weakness and not bias that creates this in the VC model. I am not disparaging the intent of (most) VCs. And I’m wildly in favor of new funding models, ala http://Indie.vc But goddamn, 97% to guys?

I'm just sayin': I know where everyone wants to put their mouth. Let's see the money, let's see the returns, etc. etc. If you think I love going contrarian against my own gender, you playin' boy. I'm just done giving a single fuck anywhere a check isn't written.
