Yes we are planning on partnering with aftermarket wheel manufacturers to either make their rims available to buy from the app or provide a white-label version of this app for them!
YC continues to support my company nearly seven years after our batch, even though we're still tiny and have no plans to exit (and thus will likely never give them any financial return).
Sorry for not having mentioned this explicit (it is in my profile) but this is from first-hand experience from being a founder and having going through YC with Bitnami
I'm pretty sceptical that the phrase isn't a bit of marketing to some extent, but one thing (among many) that earns YC a ton of respect in my mind is YC Research. The research projects truly seem geared toward working for a better world as their first goal.
Actually, a good recruiter can serve the role of an agent. They will look for opportunities for you because it's in their own best interest. But just like an athlete, you have to be smart enough not to get taken advantage of.
The Swedish institute for higher education made a study that looked at the teaching profession, and their conclusion was perfectly clear on this. There are barely any programme to increase the number of male teachers, and this was in stark contrast to the long history of programs to get more women into tech and engineering. They suggested that teaching universities, who just now are beginning to address the lack male students should look at the programs for women for inspiration and ideas in how to build similar program towards men.
But surely you have references that show those "many programme" and that the number of initatives to get men interested (and to remain once enrolled) is identical to the number of similar programs to get women into STEM. Or maybe it just Sweden with its self defined feminist government thats are backwards on this.
This is moving the goalposts from the post I originally replied to. I have no idea of the relative number of initiatives in different areas. The idea that men need pushing more into some industries is a newer idea, and it wouldn't suprise me if it is further behind. However, that wouldn't be a reason to have less "women in tech" movements, just more "men in X" movements too -- it's not like the same people would be doing both anyway I imagine.
Okay, that's actually great to know, but I am yet to see feminists fighting to get more females into other male-dominated jobs that are not as well-paid as software engineering.
Such as? What are these programs encouraging women to become garbage collectors or construction workers or miners, and on the same scale as the endlessly hyped women-in-tech initiatives?
There is a wide gulf between "morally wrong" and "not allowed", and there is another wide gulf between "don't make racist comments" and "don't talk about it at all".
