I'll admit, I wasn't initially sure this was relevant to HN, but this is a participant (customer?) perspective of a YCombinator startup.
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.
