VC Sexism Watch
The bloggers over at Re:Invention are keeping an eye out for signs of VC sexism. They point to a recent Fortune article that covered two female startup execs. The article is certainly not flattering:
"[One female exec] has just completed her presentation (to two stone-faced venture capitalists: an older man and his younger male colleague). The room is silent...Finally the older guy slides his glasses down his nose and looks up. 'So, Janet,' he says. "I see Kathy's married. I'm just curious. What are you going to do when Kathy gets pregnant?'"
"Sherbrooke says she never felt discriminated against as a woman in anything she tried to do -- in college, in business school, or at work -- until she started dealing with VCs."
