  • Jennifer Stojkovic, a general partner at Joyful Ventures, commonly turns down founder pitches.
  • But after she and her husband, also an investor, both rejected the same founder, he blew up at her. 
  •  The incident struck a nerve with her and other women VCs. She said it was "all too common."

Like most venture capitalists, Jennifer Stojkovic receives dozens of inbound messages a day from founders, asking her to review and hopefully invest in their startups.
