For anyone wondering (like me) what is "Bro Culture":
> Bro culture doesn’t have an accepted definition. But it’s instantly recognizable. There are, however, a few clues to its existence:
> @ CEO - White male, no experience, no adult supervision, somewhat good looking, glib, overconfident, arrogant, obnoxious and amoral.
> @ Management Clones of the CEO. Frat brothers (sometimes literally) he hires for “culture fit” a move best described by the over-used, and always bullshit, hiring idiom: “someone I would go for a beer with after work.”
> @ Women Second class citizens and often looked at like sorrority sisters. Rarely promoted, often hit on, and to survive they need to know “how to get along with guys” which is startup speak for don’t come to us with your issues, it’s bro’s before ho’s.

And a more generic definition:
> Bro is a male youth subculture of "conventional guys' guys" who spend time partying in ways similar to each other. Although the popular image of bro lifestyle is associated with sports apparel and fraternities, it lacks a consistent definition. Most aspects vary regionally such as in California where it overlaps with surf culture.

- AndrewKemendo 9y agoI think in all of the years I've been around startups and the valley I have seen maybe one company that actually fits the description of "Bro Culture."
- pkaye 9y agoI wonder if people see much "Bro Culture" in Silicon Valley (South Bay) area?
