The irony is that there is an immense amount of money being left on the table by this whole "startup world" ignoring women and people of color.

Is there? With so many people, including well-off, successful entrepreneurs like tptacek above complaining, somehow there's no one to step in? They could in one swoop contribute to fixing an injustice, receive acclaim and make money, yet no one does?

I don't buy it.

Golden Seeds (1) is an Angel Group/ VC firm based in NYC focussing on female founders. They are, apparently, getting very strong returns. That's one, and I'm sure there are more.

No, it would be very difficult. But the money is there for those willing to put the effort in.

Why do you suppose there are no competitors happily collecting this money?
