Thanks, Ed, for calling out this discrepancy and this pivotal moment in history. You’re right that I have overlooked this part of the history of VC. In this post, I am specifically referring to the inception of VC in the “high tech” industry, but you’re right that this is also a very important voice that has been overlooked. I hope we see more modern-day representation here as well.
