> She is not asking for money "just because" she is a woman.

That's why I asked to see the track record. You won't get anywhere in this business without a track record. Moreover, if you do have a track record being a woman is an advantage these days, not a disadvantage. There are a lot of VCs chomping at the bit to invest into women- and minority-led startups. But they won't give you money if they don't have some degree of certainty that you can do what you're promising to do.

If they were champing at the bit, you'd think they would at the very least respond to all pitches from female founders.
