I was very interested to read your comments about the differences in men and women vis-a-vis VCs and funding. You’re correct in thinking that brain structure plays a large part in this discrepancy. Women’s brains are structurally different from men’s in more ways than we ever dreamed of. Now that we have f(MRI)s and all the results published from their studies, it has become a whole new world of information and possible leverage for women.

To become successful in business, women have traditionally tried to become more like men. I read your point in the article and hurrah for you.

Now, men, it’s time to cover your eyes. Wouldn’t it be great for women in business to be like stealth bombers? By that I mean, to know how our brain strcutures are different and how to leverage them for best business results?

Lucinda, you played the testosterone hormone card with that VC. It was “King of the Hill” in all its force and simplicity. Women are culturally and physiologically conditioned to build relationships. Consider the peaks and the valleys of estrogen output. Even that part of the brain that recognizes facial expressions is larger in women and has more neronal connections!

It’s ironic that neuroscience (traditionally a man’s field) is bringing such leverage to women. Now, if only we can get the word (and latest research) out! As a psychologist/neuropsychologist, I now considered it to be my life’s mission with corporations.

I was assigned a case study based on the former Destiny WebSolutions, Inc for an Information Technology class at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia where I am a business major. Overall the case study briefly focuses on the implementation and usage of the Pattern Language Server that Destiny developed during your tenure as CEO. I was wondering if you had a few moments to answer a few questions regarding the outcome of Destiny’s Pattern Language Server.

Was the technology ever incorporated into a large scale platform? What became of the technology after the corporate dissolution? What long-term goal was the Pattern Language Server angled towards in achieving? Do you feel that if given the proper funding when Destiny still existed, that the Pattern Language Server would have been a success in helping to structure future corporations?

I do apologize for the long-winded questions, and would greatly appreciate and response you might be able to provide.

Thank you,

Derrick

PS. I do understand if you are unable to provide an answer as you must be extremely busy with business, personal, and family responsibilities.
