thredxshopUnfortunately this is a real conversation i had yesterday. Too often when founders don’t fit the archetype an investor is looking for, they fall back on biases associated with the identity of the person they are talking to. In this case, assuming I, as woman, is pursuing my business as a hobby or passion rather than building for profit. We are not creating @thredx or @thredxlabs just because we love fashion. Our team has built a digital infrastructure that will serve as the foundation for the future of fashion. One where we can virtually try on and style every physical item ever created. All in all, I believe our biases, while sometimes obvious and sometimes not, are a silent killer of companies with the potential to become unicorns. Especially underrepresented founders. What do you think?
