1M/1M Video: Girl Power In Silicon Valley
This comic strip raises the question of gender bias in Silicon Valley. Ironically, I AM a woman entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, and in my experience, when I have been rejected by VCs, there was, often, good reason for it. Please view the comic strip, and weigh in with your thoughts.

My vote is with you, Sramana!
I think some old school investors are not as comfortable with female CEO's. However I have never felt that my sex presented a problem for me. And Sramana…you rock!

My immediate reaction to this post actually has nothing to do with the topic at hand and everything to do with why so many women in technology refer to themselves as "girls." Even this comic strip falls prey with the title, "Girl Power in Silicon Valley." There is a deeper issue here within our own gender that needs to be explored.
I really don’t think that’s the issue. The ‘old boys’ network refers to men as boys. Doesn’t take their power away.
