@celinehalioua @miramurati Yes, in entertainment there are several but tech, I’d say @LisaSu. IMHO as women generate massive returns like @elonmusk, Jobs we will see more iconic female founders in tech/science. Maybe that will be you @celinehalioua.

@celinehalioua @miramurati I feel like the strings attached wouldn’t ever be worth it. The only reason someone would need a figurehead is so that they have a fall guy (or gal)

@celinehalioua @miramurati Yes, as far as early-stage startups go.

@sarah_cone @celinehalioua @miramurati At one point maybe, but buying back your company through a nonprofit isn't exactly queen status
