In fact, when we started YC Jessica was the only one of us with venture capital experience (having worked at a major investment bank in Boston since before she met PG.) She had a lot to do with us getting into the business, and her judgments about whom to fund have proven to be accurate.

Sorry to disappoint you by not being an all-girl seed funding firm with thigh-high pink boots.

As mentioned to Paul, you lack the data to establish what would have happened if you had funded other people instead.

Start-up, not investment group. Referencing the lack of technical female founders, as mentioned in the article.

What you guys do is obviously not technical in the sense we were talking about if JL is better than the other three of you.
