> The point is that she thinks she can handle it, she thinks her team can handle the slack, she's putting her ass on the line. Fair enough, go for it.

There's no obligation for anybody else to put their ass on the line along with her.

If she thinks she can do it, then more power to her.

But if I think she's unlikely to succeed, she's not getting my money, pregnant or not.

So you're just going to disregard the entire point of the article in your comment?

[jlarocco]

Most of the article seemed to be pointing out that she could do it, regardless of what the VC thinks.

Or did you mean the "nobody questions an expecting father's ability to work" part?

I just don't think it's true. If I were going to invest money in a small business run by a man expecting a child, I'd question whether he'd be able to handle both running a business and having a baby.

Unless I missed it, there's actually no evidence showing the VC from the article wouldn't do the same thing.
