jenbee: Not one single female entrepreneur on the list. How, uh, empowering? via caterpillarcowboy via thephenthouse: This is ridiculous. Especially with Bloomberg’s name on it, especially in light of Aileen Lee’s incredible piece on TechCrunch, especially in light of the FREAKING POPULATION. Look - all these guys are great I’m sure - but if they are REALLY interested in ‘Building the Next Billion Dollar Business’ then maybe they’d consider that INCLUDING HALF THE POPULATION IN THAT CALCULUS MIGHT LEAD TO GREATER PROFITS. Not to mention greater innovation. I mean sheesh.  I should note that there is one woman on the bill, if you look a the speaker list online - Sarah Lacy - and that “additional speakers” are to be announced. But still. Bloomberg, you MUST do better.  View high resolution
