Re:Launch HN: Revel (YC S19) – Community for Women over 50 by lmarrone88 on Wednesday October 02, 2019 @02:40PM (#21139468)
It's hard to answer why 50 and why women as separate questions because it's really the confluence of age and gender that makes our problem statement unique. We did a lot of user research with women of this age. We heard a consistent story: as she ages, she feels more and more invisible to society. Women with grey hair become less powerful; men tend to become more so. At the same time, though, she herself is feeling stronger and more comfortable in her own skin and "gives less f" than she ever has before. And so our goal in building Revel is to build a space where we can celebrate the power and strength that comes from being a woman of this age.

Not true. I could tell from many women over 50 with lots of power and tons of man beyond 50 who lost everything.
