"Shortly after Kathryn Tucker started RedRover, an app that showcases
local events for kids, she pitched the idea to an angel investor at a
New York tech event. But it didn’t go over well. When she finished her
pitch, the investor said he didn’t invest in women."

Sexism is still widespread and it's costing us all.  There are
definitely signs of progress, though.
