- Summary:
- Silicon Valley prides itself on rewarding good engineers, regardless of gender or race. But that may not actually reflect reality. The Valley started out as a Mad Men-esque place, where women in particular were excluded. That culture still persists in the form of venture capitalists funding many of today's startups. Furthermore, many in Silicon Valley fail to acknowledge how becoming a startup founder is often restricted to certain groups of people and how more diversity can ultimately result in a better product or service.
