When Amy Norman and Stella Ma started “Little Passports,” a website that invites parents to teach their children geography in an interesting way, they were turned down over and over again as they made presentations to venture capitaists

Today “Little Passports” makes $5 million a year and is a success by any standard.  They were funded by Golden Seeds, a venture capital group that has about 77% female members.

The basic argument about women’s money being available is that they make only 72 cents to every dollar a man makes.  But clearly women are stepping up with money, and focusing on women entrepreneurs is a worthy cause. Word is out among men that women are unwilling to take risks.  Simply not so.
