So anonymous hear-say is all there is?

And is the company even small? "Some of our bigger customers purchase up to $15,000/week with us" sounds like they make > $100k revenue/week regularly, baking thousands and thousands of cakes every week. I don't know SF standards of small, but that sounds like a solid operation to me - one that definitely has the resources to go after a corporate client that doesn't pay.

I still find it weird to focus on gender/sex and ethnicity, and I have my doubts that Munchery invested a lot of time & money into finding out who is behind the companies they don't pay and what the owners' gender is.

Yes, it's clear that you don't believe the woman whose business was impacted, and choose to side with the VC-funded company that stiffed their vendors. You could just say that, rather than pretend to have a bunch of concerns about discourse, and save us all a lot of time.

I don't know where I hurt your feelings, but I'm sorry.
