Andreessen Horowitz sued for discrimination after startup collapse

Wording and structure of this article is a bizarre mess, I’m guessing it’s the result of some kind of LLM expansion/template application from some bullet points?

I’m guessing most people here don’t have enough information to be able to comment sensibly on an ongoing legal case either way. I think I’ll flag the article as I can’t see informed insightful debate being possible IMO.

I have no information on this case. My impression, however, is that things like this happen all the time, they just rarely get to court. I know people who’ve experienced pregnancy discrimination, but the kinds of firm I work for have enough OpSec that leaver sabotage isn’t a thing.

If the claims of the second case were true, the bringers of the first case were muppets to do so. Moreover, even if the second case hadn’t been filed, the first case is pretty embarrassing for the claimants.

Why did the company, RTW, sue Jiang in the first place?

Even if there was the "internal damage etc" as alleged, it was already well known that there wasn't any value in the company. So the value of that damage is pretty minimal. What were they hoping to gain?

this won't go well for the accuser

This is why shares need to vest, always, even for founders.
