I wouldn't expect VC investors to be brilliant at crisis management. Most things they invest in have inconsequential failure modes. Babysitting founders is against their nature, too. More women partners and board members would help.
- sidlls 10y agoThat phrasing is a bit unfortunate ("Babysitting...women partners and board members would help"). Do you mean that having more women partners and board members will bring a different perspective on leadership, or that women are better suited to babysitting the man-child types that infest the industry?
- Zigurd 10y agoOne hopes there would be fewer tech-bro founders needing minding, and that founders would model their management's sex diversity after their funders. Lack of more than tokenism in women and minorities is self-perpetuating, and unless you fix it at the origin, the statistics, never mind the motivation, of fixing it later are always pretty grim.
