Survey of YC female founders on sexual harassment, coercion by angels and VCs
The details are stunning. Nearly 20% of responders reported sexual coercion or quid-pro-quo.Given that there are responses which declined to report anyone, the actual number is obviously higher. This is happening at the top startup accelerator in the world, where there is likely to be more scrutiny than elsewhere. (The problem is likely worse in other places.)Kudos on publishing this research, great work.
