Wednesday Google hosted a special edition of their annual "Demo Day" event featuring 11 early-stage startup companies founded by women from eight different countries. More than 450 women from 40 different counties applied for a spot, and the winner of the competition was Bridgit, a fast-growing Canadian company which provides a mobile communications platform for construction teams. Online voters also awarded the "Game Changer" title to KiChing, a startup that's actively addressing Mexico's unique e-commerce challenges. But all of the startups at Wednesday's event were already actively raising series-A funding, and "We aim to help connect them to mentors, access to capital, and shine a spotlight on their efforts," said Mary Grove, the director of Google for Entrepreneurs, addressing the Demo Day audience in San Francisco.

Yet again you move the goalposts.
Two founders on stage, one of them spends significantly more time making a presentation and from that you conclude that they have no actual knowledge about their own business. You assume:
Instead, you go straight to an assumption of incompetence because that's what you want be true - it confirms all of your most primal beliefs as proven by your use of terms of like "bubblehead" and "trophy." So much easier to assume the worst about people whom you don't know and have never been in their place before.

What is it with you and goal posts? Did you run into them a lot when you were a kid? Are you related to Charlie Brown?

Hey everybody, lookee here! Yet again runaway resorts to empty insults.
That's how you say, "I was totally wrong, you were right but I don't have the strength of character to own my mistakes" in runaway-speak.

Empty insults? How so? You're our favorite stalker, following me from conversation to conversation. Always whining about moving goal posts. I can only presume that you have had intimate relationships with goal posts, and frequently.
