I think it should be a mutual agreement- it's not as if one side has the right to be a "bad actor" Although, I have literally never heard an investor complain about this as a problem. (that doesn't mean it doesn't

there are all kinds of "bad actor" and nuclear option moral clause. I personally (as a founder) once had to sign a "non-embarrassment clause" where I guaranteed not to embarrass the investor. Since I am basically creati

I went back and looked at it- you can see it here. The majority of the worst comments were actually flagged and delted. So what you see now is nothing like what the conversation was like in real time https://news.ycombinator.co

the post has everything to do with men here. As a woman, HN is a really unfriendly place. Of all the places- and all the traction that my post "VCs don't compare me to your wife" got. HN was the only forum where I got atta

Actually, in the article- the "very vocal minority who are extremely critical" were men from HN. Almost exclusively. The worst attacks and most vicious criticisms came from the reaction from men here

Yes, I can. I am actually working on strategy. I feel like it needs to be a combination of education and transparency. A lot of men mean well and have no idea how to change. It needs to be done thoughtfully, but women and POC also need a

every entrepreneur needs to choose their investors wisely. And for me, misogyny is a deal breaker. I have kids. This is my second startup and I know what I am doing. End of story.

I think HN readers should do some soul searching, because this isn't contentious out there in the real world. The post has been picked up on a few different news sites, and nobody (even in the comments) is nearly as threatened by what

FYI- I tried actual conversation. But shocker men don't want to hear that they are sexist. I was then called "overemotional" and "abrasive" because I pushed back. Any entrepreneur has to decide if an investor is

Thanks so much! I have a startup in stealth mode and it is funded. It is early days but this is my second funded startup and I see this as being much better than my first. I'll be making it all public soon. I closed my first startup

The data does show that women led companies do better- but the fact that there are so few women who have to fight to make it to the top could mean that the women who get there are better- not that women in general do better.

I am not really happy with "Women in Tech" movement in general, I think that it should be broader and more focused on diversity. So, I would like to see events that are more focused on bringing people together.
