If EP was so adamant about trying to 'bring KPCB along' and change it's 'boys club' culture -- which really rings with JC's point #2 --
-- why did she leave VC? She's 100% convinced she got passed over for promotion at KPCB for illegitimate reasons.
Thus she's convinced she has a lot to give in VC. And she has years of experience.
And there are other VC firms with a very inclusive environment for both genders.
Why on earth abandon a highly remunerative career path, if she's confident of her VC talents? Being CEO of Reddit isn't bad, but financially she'd be MUCH better off sticking with what she knows.
