In Reply To: There is a huge lack of women working in the VC realm. An article said that only 5 percent of the $50 billion made in VC last year went to women. How can women make more of a presence in this industry? Will the boys be willing to make some room?
Message: Hummer-Winblad was rated as the "dumbest " VC in the Valley due to their lack of foresight and ineptness with the deals they cut. Unfortunately for you, people like Anne Winblad who are one of the few female role models in the VC community, has led this shop into the ground. They have lost a great deal of reputability and much of it due under her watch.
