I realise I&#x27;m opening a can of very sensitive worms here, but just so I&#x27;m clear from that recount...<p>1. Jessica was asked by a man if she was on her own or on a date<p>2. She responded that she co-founded Y-Combinator<p>3. He asked if she had some startups in her portfolio that other investors had overlooked, and asked for her contact details<p>4. She told him to contact PG<p>All that left her &quot;shaken&quot; - &quot;&#x27;I’m not crazy, right?&#x27; she said. “He was hitting on me? He was offering to invest in our weaker companies as a way to get me on a date, right? Did that just happen? [...] Livingston said she wasn’t sure if this man was just flirting, actually attempting to talk investments, or offering venture funding for a date.&quot;<p>If that kind of interaction in public leaves someone &quot;shaken&quot; I struggle to understand how they manage go about their day without having a nervous breakdown.<p>She was spoken to by an unknown man, and politely dismissed him. How that is worthy of an entire news article leaves me shocked. I am not denying there are gender&#x2F;harassment issues in tech, but this is hardly one of them.<p>EDIT: To clarify, as per one commenter&#x27;s response, my shock is at the news article, not Jessica&#x27;s (supposed) response.
