I haven't finished listening to the full podcast yet, but I think one of the most interesting things about this interview is that it shows aggressive behavior in a woman is very well received among many VCs.

A lot of the discussions about women in the workplace (tech and otherwise) have shown that women who make demands aren't taken as seriously as aggressive, blunt men since it goes against people's beliefs about what a woman should be.

What we have here is a female entrepreneur who raised funds without mincing words. It's pretty inspiring.
