Don't despair, it's going to improve eventually but it takes time. Those companies need to put effort into training their services specifically for accented speech - in the same way they do it for child voices etc. I'm pretty sure it's already on their roadmap!

True, some people use a different address for each service (ie. [email protected]), and they tend to be the the kind of people one would want to hire as engineers! I wonder if Sourcing.io figured it out somehow, but at least compared to option 1 it seems better to look them up manually.

I also liked how Heidi Roizen tried not to extrapolate on her own experience now that she is a VC. When you get older, more assertive and less of a 'target', it's too easy to forget what younger women might encounter. [edit: grammar]
