“We’re going to gamify the interface.”

“What? You’re going to turn the site into a video game?”

“Yeah. We think old women will like that.”

Old? Video games? I wanted to kill him. So I said, “I think you have autism.”

My goodness, a completely appropriate response. It'd be interesting to see how many women in that age demographic actually play video games. My money is on less than 10%. So, it'd be completely useless. Faceplam.

Five years ago, your consultation helped me initiate my first step to moving across the country into a place filled with investors. I pondered leaping into the VC world as a woman, either as a founder or investor. After reading this article you've written and shared, I understand the dynamics. My understanding of the obstacles is clearer, and I appreciate you for that. Thanks!
