Second paragraph.

#5>DID found that even the WORST Startups led by white males raise more than the Best Startups led by Black Women.
This was big and in bold, but I didn't see any links to how they calculated this. Anyone else see how they found this?

#6Only 12 Black women led startups (yes only 12) have raised $1MM or more in outside funding since 2012. Twelve is now "zero"?
As we all know, there are lies, damned lies and statistics.
So, translation:
"I'm intentionally trying to deceive you when I say, NO (Meaning Zero) Black Women Have Raised Venture Funding. Definitely zero, not 12...shutup, math is hard, OK?"

#7It's the social graph. If the mainstream does not notice, do what countless immigrant groups have done in countries the world over, group together form your own interest group and serve your group. You also see this behavior with industry groups, or worker groups. Content producers group, telecoms group, so they can advance themselves and self interest.
Why do Nigerians do relatively well, they'll find other Nigerians, help each other and steadily climb. Or Russians or Chinese immigrants, etc. Help from the mainstream helps, and it'd be good to get even footing, but lacking that, create a self interest group. It's not as though there are no rich people who are minorities who are also interested in investing in startups. Pursue the issue in a multi pronged fashion. Don't count on anyone in particular.

12/10000 is noise.

It would have been more accurate to say "virtually no" black women have led startups. Though I guess she gets a pass for saying "statistically". It would have also been nice if a comparison was done as to the race of other startup founders and... I don't know more than a single chart listing the companies and how much they raised each? This isn't a very good statistic to trumpet around if its going to be presented out of context like this.

The number of black women is 12, not 0. I don't understand what you wish to gain by egregiously twisting the numbers. Yes, it's a low percentage. No, it's not zero.
