What about the current mantras of "fire fast", and "culture fit" as the most important quality of an employee. It seems like that doesn't lend itself to working through problems in a deliberate way or taking much responsibilty for the hiring process. To me, honestly, it sounds like throw a bunch of shit at the wall as fast you can as see what sticks.

Trendy bullshit advice or truth to it?

Are there other ways for Angels to get their capital out of a startup other than an acquisition/IPO?

Great point. She is definitely more in the "spark interest" camp. Probably, naturally more suited to the design field, but I want her to be exposed to coding early so she can make an informed decision, instead of being intimidated by the prospect at a later stage (like her dad). Also, she's a great leader and I've got two more coming up behind her, so if she takes to it, I might have a hacker family on my hands :)

I would say +1 to this, but also add butter & onions :)

This is AWESOME. So is Cory Booker. Now tell me, which major publications covered it?

So how to fix the exposure problems. Are media outlets like Inc, Forbes, Techcrunch making a good enough effort to cover stories like this?

I think it's awesome! Good code has no race or gender! :)

Love y'alls program.

Three questions: 1) Do the gender messages of women pioneers like Sheryl & Marissa resonate with black entrepreneurs or does the message feel "hollow"?

2) Are there any mainstream outlets that you think do a fairly good job of covering success (or struggles) of BFFs?

3) Who is your dream mentor?
