You are a solo founder. Find a co-founder that you trust, perhaps another woman?

No dispute that woman have it tougher than men in startups. And I agree that adversity breeds the resiliance needed to win... in a game that almost all men and women loose. Still your article's title would be better if it had been ``Why Female founder ... will WIN'' (not outlast men... that is irrelevant)

most all of your article is about proving oneself in a sea of men who dont give credit. Fine. But the goal is not prooving yourself... the goal is a successful business. Your opponent is not men or society. you opponent is a failed business. and you must find many allies to vanquish that enemy.
