Out of curiosity -- are you guys aware of startups out there that have a female co-founder? I'm aware of TipJoy (http://www.tipjoy.com), but no others.

Also, anybody around here have a female co-founder on their team? If you ARE the female co-founder, I'm not asking you to reveal your gender, I'm just curious about whether there are other teams floating around with women in them.

We have a female co-founder -- in fact, she is actually the one that hatched our initial idea. But our product's demographic seems to be more women than men, as well.



Of those YC has funded: Jamglue, Heysan, Songkick, Tipjoy, and one that hasn't launched yet.


I know two other husband & wife teams not in YC. PlayCrafter http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=243769

And Sproost http://www.sproost.com/


Ivan,

Thanks. Playcrafter looks seriously fun. They look like they could be a big hit -- I'll keep my eye out for them when they have a public release.

What does Sproost do? Are they still in "stealth" mode, or is there a press release somewhere in the world? I really like their design.


Not sure how public sproost's ideas are just yet, so I would suggest just signing up for the upcoming beta.
