Do investors who target women and unattractive men have less competition for the same product?
Or does the effect last through all rounds of funding, customers, going public and so on? In that case the investor would be rational to mimic the preferences of the market.
I suspect it lasts through a few rounds of funding but at the point the company is large and can afford PR, and so on, it no longer matters.
This might mean that the smart investor should target the ignored company if the investor has enough money to get them to the point that they are self-sustaining.
