Hopefully man on man abuse comes out as well. Sex abuse between all pairings / genders happens but there are not so many women VCs so it's unlikely that's going to come down here. But there are quite a few gay VCs. My advice to everybody is keep meticulous notes and records of your interactions with others, regardless of gender. This is important to expose abuse and to expose lies.

  If you havent watched "An Open Secret" (about DEN) then you dont know how deep the rabbit hole goes... If you didnt believe in #PG prior, DEN's documentary; an open secret may just change your mind... https://youtu.be/4eeGX4SlF1s?t=1595 https://youtu.be/4eeGX4SlF1s?t=1595

    The rabbit hole now goes high up, as well as deep. "In the months ahead, IGE hired more adults, a slew of VPs with decades of industry experience among them. The company also brought on a former Goldman Sachs investment banker named Stephen Bannon, whose mission was to land venture capital." https://www.wired.com/2008/11/ff-ige/ https://www.wired.com/2008/11/ff-ige/

    Wow, thank you for posting for that link! I just finished watching "An Open Secret" for the first time, and it chillingly corroborates most of what Fucked Company humorously presented in that South-Park style documentary, which is how I first heard about the story when Fucked Company covered it contemporaneously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmaRTZpJgPA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmaRTZpJgPA https://youtu.be/4eeGX4SlF1s?t=1h8m8s https://youtu.be/4eeGX4SlF1s?t=1h8m8s I only learned about about Steve Bannon's connection to Brock Pierce (who recently posted a Facebook photo of himself wearing a red "MAKE BITCOIN GREAT AGAIN" trucker's cap at Trump's Inaugural Lounge) when Mother Jones and Wired covered it during the last election.

Do you know of specific stories? Have you experienced this yourself? I am a gay man who has raised money, and networked with various gay VCs. I’ve never seen this kind of behavior from them personally.

  I am a straight man who has experienced this personally. I can't give too many details without revealing who I am and who the VC was, but I can say the VC works at one of the largest corporate funds, and I was a bootstrapped founder at the time.

    Why don't you want to reveal who the VC was? I'm not trying to imply you should, just curious about your reasons not to.

      He is married to a woman and has kids. Also, one of his partners invested in my company, so it's a small world.
