it is also seems to be in line with the core business idea of the other startups frequenting HN - Uber, AirBNB, etc... - identifying and putting to use/brokering access to underutilized resources.
Though it is really an open question whether the underutilized resource like male techies of SV can be efficiently made into business inventory desirable by the potential customers. The article doesn't sound optimistic here.
To me it felt more like the underutilized resource was the hot women in NYC. But that would be too degrading to the women. So they couldn't possibly take that angle.
