How Brit Morin Responds To People Who Say She Only Gets Millions From Investors Because Of Her Husband

Brit Morin is the founder of Do-It-Yourself content and commerce site, Brit + Co. She has raised more than $7 million from investors such as Marissa Mayer and Huffington Post investor, Oak Investment Partners.
She's also married to Dave Morin, founder of Path and investor in dozens of startups. Her husband made a fortune as a former Facebook employee. 
Critics say Brit Morin is only getting a shot at a startup because of who her husband is. It's a statement male founders who are married to successful women don't often have to deal with. In a recent interview with Wired, Morin says how she handles the negative assumption.
