Female founders can be great with out coding. There seems to be this belief that founders need to write code. If you are doing a "hack" maybe, but a good startup is often as much about the business model and the User Experience as it is about the code.
Sarah Austin, is a co-founder at my company, Plexi, and she is invaluable to us from the standpoint of knowing what features are important and how to extract money from those features. Sarah doesn't write code. She looks at it from time to time, and she provides large data sets in spreadsheets that get codified later, but she doesn't speak Python which is what we run.
Sarah has one dozens of hackathons, and was SAP's Hacker of the Year last year. Again with out writing a single line of code.
To be honest the Author comments show how much more he has to learn about female founders, because I disagree with almost every assertion he makes.
And yes, I think PlexiNLP is a multi-billion dollar potential company.
