It's hard to be sympathetic when all the female founders I know have had an easy time fundraising. Far easier than (most) men. I'm not suggesting that the women weren't qualified--they were--but I've seen so many qualified males that don't get a break on a very short runway and I can't help but wonder: if they were a woman, would they have raised? Why do you think there are so many women doing sales in private wealth, or IR for hedge funds. Women can sell. Personally, I'd rather fight off an ocassional suitor than go bankrupt and deal with that abyss of depression (again). Of course the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence.
