Comment on Calacanis on Ellen Pao and Fixing the Gender Issue in VC

Comments

What doesn't make sense in my circle is this.

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.
