> There's a significant number of VCs and funds which only invest in female founders, which is a huge advantage.

I understand your reasoning in saying this, but please try to understand that being taken seriously as a female founder is much more difficult being taken seriously as a male.

These VCs exist to combat this preexisting inequality.

How do people get funding for nothing-apps? If anything that's evidence that being on the inside is what matters.
