This is probably true also for evaluating entrepreneurs where blindest is even greater (I call it "young white male syndrome").
It seems like if an entrepreneur is a little different (black, hispanic, women, little eccentric, older, etc.) he/she need to act and behave like "white young male" in order get noticed and funded. However, in that case he/she might be hiding the characteristics which will make them "rock star".
Ageism, racism, and sexism all in one, impressive. And what stereotypes do you attribute to that demographic which are unique and oppressive to others? Seems to me the only thing in question here is creativity and ambition.
