Sheri Atwood, founder and CEO of SupportPay, speaks during an interview with Reuters in Redwood City, California July 2, 2014. When Atwood started her child-support tracking business SupportPay, she expected all kinds of recommendations - but not the guidance she got from a female investor who suggested she dye her blonde hair darker to be taken more seriously by venture capitalists. To Atwood, who eventually won her funding from other backers, the suggestion underscored an attitude in Silicon Valley that women make second-class entrepreneurs. Picture taken July 2, 2014.
