CrowdSourcing Starting up, questions, Part 1

Shana,

Please take this as friendly advice. I don't think you realize how some of what you write comes across. For example, most people would be too tactful to tell you what they really think about what you wrote in 6) above. I'm not that tactful, so I'll tell you that it sounds like a load of confused nonsense. To most folks who haven't been marinating in the sophistry of a university humanities department for the last few years, the phrase “female and genedered woman” will sound like a bizzare triple redunancy. It does to me. Many readers will probably also wonder whether anyone prone to this sort of postmodern navel-gazing has a mind suited toward entrepreneurship or invention.

Your accomplishments will ultimately tell that tale, but think of this from the perspective of a potential business partner or investor. Would what you write here or elsewhere make them more or less inclined to risk partnering with or investing in you?

It's going to come up, that why. I took out th elong part and stuck it in part three. I can change it, and probably should. However, to be truthful, I'm gendered woman differently and much more traditionally according to a lot of terms in the US. I grew up in a modern to centerist Orthodox family. In the Long Run, it's probably where I'll remain, though I cannot guarantee that.

I was at a bridal shower recently for my cousin's fiance. She's 20. My mother is worried about me, because I'm not dating enough. I'm 23. Even if I ran a company full time(and I know women who do similar things, they are partners in firms, work in hedge funds, etc.), in my neighborhood, I would still be considered the primary person in charge of my household to a much larger degree than the rest of the United States at Large. Even more so that a ghood chunk of fundemetalist Christians. (It makes it interesting because you do see a lot of both orthodox men and women doing these sorts of things for the money, and you see them going for the education, I see them occasionally in startups, though never as founders). I'd be expected to also be a public face for theoretical children and run as theoretical pillar of the community on his behalf. It's strange.

Basically, I would be delaying all of that, excising a lot of myself from a lot of traditionally female activities and a lot of “how to meet a partner” activities in order to start a startup. I love this. It would be isolating in very specific ways. I have a few friends that would love me no matter what I do and would help me along, yet still, it is not a light decision.

Can we get @OurielOhayon or someone from the Gemini Group to Weigh in, as odd as this sounds, they see more people from a Dati background on a day to day basis, (albeit I'm weird even from that perspective), and probably would be more fluent on the what to do question, even if this is based StateSide.
