Google Hosts Special Demo Day For Female Entrepreneurs (thenewstack.io)

An anonymous reader writes: Wednesday Google hosted a special edition of their annual "Demo Day" event featuring 11 early-stage startup companies founded by women from eight different countries. More than 450 women from 40 different counties applied for a spot, and the winner of the competition was Bridgit, a fast-growing Canadian company which provides a mobile communications platform for construction teams. Online voters also awarded the "Game Changer" title to KiChing, a startup that's actively addressing Mexico's unique e-commerce challenges. But all of the startups at Wednesday's event were already actively raising series-A funding, and "We aim to help connect them to mentors, access to capital, and shine a spotlight on their efforts," said Mary Grove, the director of Google for Entrepreneurs, addressing the Demo Day audience in San Francisco.

Not trying to flame - not being a Jerk, just pointing out a disconnect at Google HQ.

What if one of those Female Entrepreneurs sold confederate merchandise in her "Bring Back the Dukes of Hazard" store?

perhaps males have a ridiculous number of advantages because at some point in the past, women had all the advantages and males were treated as charity cases and given preferential treatment which they exploited to revolt.

sexism is sexism. put lipstick on the pig all you want... you're an ignorant hypocrite.

I can't tell if you're trolling or an explorer from an alternate dimension.
