The Female Founders Fund is a venture capital firm that invests seed money in companies founded by women. But the firm's motive isn't to promote women's rights -- it's to make money. Partner Sutian Dong explains why the venture capital community undervalues companies founded by women and discusses some of her fund's most interesting and potentially lucrative investments. Plus, Google buying insurance giant American International Group? It sounds crazy. Maybe it is, Bloomberg reporter Sonali Basak tells Alex Sherman, but that's not stopping Citigroup analysts from proposing what would be a $100 billion deal.
