That’s bonkers.
Unpopular hot take: she wouldn’t have raised half that if she was a man.

Bad take, worthy of twitter. Pretty sure the ex-CTO of open ai could generate that level of froth regardless of gender.
You could also say perhaps she got less because she is a woman.
True. I’m not commenting on the potential disparity in founder difficulties as a woman but was an early member of a construction tech startup at woman led company and saw first hand the different market response to woman founders. To the positive not the negative as is sometimes portrayed.
But for a pre-revenue, pre-product, concept to raise that amount of money there have to be some unicorn elements and having a woman founder is one of those unique elements.
Oh, she's a scammer. Anyone who can raise that with nada is full of shit
