No it doesn't, don't be ridiculous. 'Why is this getting voted up when I've never heard or the company' was my reaction to seeing it when skimming the top links this morning. It being a female founder helps answer that question without implying anything else other than what you willfully project onto others.

The more likely reason is that you aren't the target demographic.

Just like half the time I have never heard of the fintech startups that get thrown around here, because I am not part of the fintech news demographic.

It also probably didn't come up here because it isn't a tech startup.

However it is now a very interesting investment failure story, and that is something HN is interested in.
