I went through 500 Startups a few years ago. Dave McClure was barely present for the day-to-day, but I now have this feeling that while I was working my ass off, women in my cohort were also working their asses off AND may have been dealing with unwanted advances from McClure (and probably other difficulties associated with being a woman founder / early startup employee).
And that's what really gets me... how unequal the situation might have been and how oblivious I was.
So while part of me wants to defend McClure, someone who I've met and respected, I think of the women in my cohort and this article really resonates with me.
