Traditionally women have been a painful minority on the VC

which perhaps offers a nice supplement/complement to the

As I said, you do not have to be a woman to qualify, but you

or you work in the Silicon Valley and know of some interesting
data points on the VC landscape that speaks to some of these
disparities.
Maybe you worked in the VC world and have some personal insights
(note: please DO NOT take this as an invitation to pitch someone
who is generally involved in tech or cybersecurity to speak on
this. I'm looking for sources specific expertise or insights,
not generic boilerplate observations that can be derived from a

I am writing an article on some of the best stocks in 2020. The
idea is to provide new investors with foundational knowledge
about why some stocks are performing better than others. The
article will touch primarily on the impact of the pandemic and
what it means for certain stocks. The article is intended to
pique the interest of new investors and give them a place to
start their own stock research.
I am looking for an expert's opinion on a number of topics: The
pandemic has shaped the stock market for most of 2020, but what
factors do you see impacting stock prices in 2021? What trends
will impact stocks the most a year from now? Will it still be
the pandemic? What sectors will outperform the S&P 500 over the
next year? Over the next 10 years? Will the stocks gaining
momentum from the pandemic be able to maintain it once the
pandemic is over? What do you see playing out better over the
long run? High-growth tech stocks or value stocks which are
expected to return once there is a vaccine? What are the most
important things you look for in a long-term stock? What metrics
are best used to evaluate a company's growth?
Requirements:
Looking for responses from stock market professionals, or anyone
with experience on the subject of investing in stocks. Any
advice you have on the topic would be greatly appreciated.

Query:
We are looking to do an interview series with tech
entrepreneurs. Our interviews look to uncover how people bring
their ideas to life.
Requirements:
Must be founder or co-founder, organization or company needs to
already exist and can't just be an idea. Nonprofits welcome. All
interviews are conducted in writing.
PR Reps: To safeguard against "fake" interviews, we ask that
your client contact us directly at
https://ideamensch.com/contact to ensure the person we publish
is the person who did the interview. We publish accepted pitches
in the order we receive them, so it is typically a 2-3 month
wait. Once the pitch is submitted, we will only communicate with
the client. Thus we insist it's their contact info that gets
submitted, as we need to do some form of identity check. If
you'd like an accepted pitch to be published sooner than 2-3
months, please respond to the query for details.
