But did she have to call it the “thrust” fund?

This is a very interesting concept on how to get funding for your business.  You get funded. In exchange, the investor gets a cut of your life earnings.  I don't know what happens if the investment fails.

Let's all stipulate as to Kjerstin Erickson's general brilliance for coming up with the concept and getting into Stanford GSB and her general goodness for starting up a non-profit to revitalize African refugee communities and  all that.

But… did she really have to name this idea the "THRUST" fund and then offer up this pose for her "head"shot, possibly setting back the concept of taking women in business seriously by, oh, let's say three decades.

I'm just saying.
