Kirsten from re:inventioninc mails in her perspective about my yesterdays post:

"Thank you for posting news about our Venture Funding for Women Entrepreneurs report in partnership with L.A.-based Growthink Research, a leading venture capital research firm. Just a quick point of clarification, re:invention never attributed the lack of venture capital for women exclusively to their business plans. We did suggest emerging women entrepreneurs are at a disadvantage if they don't write a sound business plan. In that same post, however, we went on to suggest: "Looking at this infographic, however, one might infer that women simply need some kickstart tips about where and how to successfully secure $$$." We have written multiple posts exploring reasons why women-led business are underfunded. Warmly invite you back over to re:invention's site to read more about our perspective on women-led businesses and venture capital. I think there may have been some understanding."
