That’s a fair question. If she can find a male who is interested in building a woman’s wellness platform for women then I know she would go for it. However, there are some gender bias barriers she’s faced when sharing her idea and it doesn’t always “click” with men.

That makes sense. I would hope that most people who it doesn't click with just wouldn't apply.

Maybe post on forums or reddit subs that are pertainate to women's wellness. That's the niche - not the technology side. So you should be able to find individuals on those pages who also have the technical skills. It's more like finding a needle in a haystack looking in the technology forums for any resources who are passionate about a non-technology specific niche.

I’d like to hear the idea. What’s the overview?

But personalized meal kits and fitness routines adjusted to fit your life, weekly.

O’rly? Message me. My emails address is in my profile.

Hey @AntonWells is there any reason you’re not emailing me? I think there could be a genuine mutual interest here!

The "best qualified candidate" is not generally an objective measure -- if you can be more productive with someone your own gender and race, then that's all to the good, the largely American taboo of racial and gender sorting notwithstanding.

Not just taboo, but laws against discrimination.

Not when searching for a business partner.

Doesn't that depend on what stage you're in and how you are bringing them in? Like I'd you already have a company set up and you are going to hire them as an employee without sufficient interest, then it does apply. If you're not giving them sufficient interest in the company (10%?), or it hasn't been formed yet, then I think it doesn't.

There are also minimum employee sizes before racial discrimination law kicks in, I think 15, or 5 if you’re in California, but that is from rapid googling.

There are a million reasons why women prefer to work with women.

Also with women being systematically excluded from many opportunities in tech, this is hardly going to deprive some man of an opportunity.

"Also with women being systematically excluded from many opportunities in tech"

Do you have some sources for this?

"There are a million reasons why women prefer to work with women."

And the same is true for men wanting to work with men.

"this is hardly going to deprive some man of an opportunity."

If one is actually excluding men, then this by definition deprives them of that specific opportunity.
