Women, startups and yellow elephants
“We need more women to start a business.”
- Why?
“They offer fresh thinking and disrupt different segments.”
- So…?
“So we can make more money.”
- Why do you need more money?
“To make more money.”
…
Oh, right… so it’s not about women. We might as well say we need yellow elephants. Imagine how many people would travel around the world and pay you to see a yellow-born elephant.
My understanding is that in the economy, if you can multiply an investment, it doesn’t matter what or who you are. Although these factors are tightly related, we don’t really need anyone, we really only need money.
