NYTimes: A Backlash Builds Against Sexual Harassment in Silicon Valley
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/03/technology/silicon-valley-sexual-harassment.html
The upheaval over sexual harassment in the technology start-up
industry mushroomed on Monday, with the resignation of a
prominent Silicon Valley investor who said he had been "a
creep" and more women saying they would come forward to talk
about their experiences. Dave McClure, the founder of the
start-up incubator 500 Startups, said he was stepping down on
Monday after The New York Times reported last week that he had
come onto a woman who was applying for a job at his firm. Mr.
McClure apologized for his behavior over the weekend, in a
post titled "I'm a creep. I'm sorry." Another partner at 500
Startups, Elizabeth Yin, also resigned this weekend, saying
that she was quitting after the firm had covered up a separate
harassment episode by Mr. McClure.
