III Abstract In the wake of the #MeToo era, gender equality has successfully gained a bigger space within public discourse around the world. However, tech startups, supposedly one of the most innovative industries to lead our future, are still heavily male-dominated, with a study in 2017 revealing a meager 17% female ratio in Silicon Valley startups that have less than 100 employees (Bradshaw & Kwong 2017). This research aims to understand the underlying reasons for the gross underrepresentation of women in the tech startup industry and find practical solutions to improve the status quo. In the first part of the study, based on literature review, the ‘Brotopian Cycle’ is proposed as a framework to understand the vicious cycle. From the macro societal level (Media and Education) to the individual startup level (Recruitment and Retention), the vicious cycle continuously reinforces and recreates gender stereotypes that involuntarily but systematically filter qualified women out of the industry. The second part of the study focuses on practical methods to improve gender inequality in tech startups during Recruitment and Retention phases. Findings from a combination of theoretical and practical research through literature review and qualitative interviews suggest that factors such as the lack of management and leadership experience common in young tech startups create, reinforce, and/or neglect gender issues in the startup workplace. The research provides actionable recommendations for startups to follow in order to actively break the vicious cycle and point to possible areas for further research.

This shift to “local 2.0” has given birth to “local listing sites,” an emerging social medium that converges the content of traditional Yellow Pages, consumer-generated content and the interactive features of social network sites. Such sites harness the productive power of “prosumers,” the hybrid subjectivity of new media users who simultaneously produce and consume online content (Tapscott & Williams, 2006). These sites capitalize on the productivity of users who create discourses through and about local consumption by voluntarily rating and reviewing local businesses and services, challenging the power of institutions traditionally responsible for the production of consumer culture and reputation management (e.g., local business owners, marketers, advertisers, professional critics).

  • Practice Fusion Gets $23 Million to Compete in “Winner-Take-All” Market for Electronic Medical Records Technology Wade Roush 4/5/11
    Practice Fusion Gets $23 Million To Compete in “Winner-Take-All” Market for Electronic Medical Records Technology Wade Roush 4/5/11 Practice Fusion, a San Francisco startup that claims to be the fastest-growing maker of electronic medical records systems for physicians’ practices, may be able to supercharge that growth now, thanks to a $23 million infusion from Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and a posse of other investors. The Series B investment, announced today, brings Practice Fusion’s total venture backing to $30 million and will help the company “reach every doctor and practice in the country in our market,” says founder and CEO Ryan Howard. Founders Fund, started in 2005 by Thiel and fellow PayPal alums Ken Howery and Luke Nosek, is a first- time investor in Practice Fusion, as are syndicate partners Artis Capital Management and Glynn Capital Management. Series A investors Morgenthaler Ventures and Felicis Ventures also participated in the round. With billions in dollars in federal incentives awaiting medical practices that adopt electronic recordkeeping systems, there’s a veritable gold rush underway, with dozens of startups and established companies vying to supply doctors with systems for digitizing patient records, reviewing test results, ordering electronic prescriptions, and the like. Practice Fusion, with its free, easy-to-adopt Web-based system, is seen as one of the leaders in the field. The big jump in funding for the five-year-old startup—from a $7 million A round in early 2010 to the current $23 million B round—is in part a recognition of how quickly its system seems to be catching on with doctors.

  • Transcript Peter Thiel: Escape the Competition (A)
    Transcript Peter Thiel: Escape the Competition (A) PETER THIEL: “The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Today and tomorrow are yet to be said. The chances the changes are all yours to make. The mold of your life is in your hands to break.” NARRATOR: That was Peter Thiel, reciting “The Greatest Adventure” by J.R.R. Tolkien. Peter Thiel is the co- founder of PayPal, and his unconventional career reflects the adventures of someone who was clearly willing to break the mold. No surprises, then, “The Greatest Adventure” is a poem he has memorized. In this first-ever “podcase,” adapted from the Masters of Scale podcast, Thiel discusses the early history of PayPal with his longtime friend, frequent collaborator, and our host, Reid Hoffman. Hoffman himself is a character in the story. He’s now best known as the Co-Founder of LinkedIn, and an iconic Silicon Valley investor at Greylock Partners. But before that, he served alongside Thiel as PayPal’s Chief Operating Officer. Thiel often refers to Hoffman as PayPal’s “Firefighter in Chief.” A bit of back story might be useful: Peter Thiel initially co-founded a company called Confinity, focused on online payments. Confinity merged with a company called X.com — which was co- founded by Elon Musk. The new company was re-named PayPal. And those founding executives have gone on to dominate the tech industry, both by launching startups and investing in them. Elon Musk went on to found Tesla and SpaceX, for example. Thiel and Hoffman were among the earliest investors in Facebook.

    THE NEW MACHINE AGE 1 www.language-and-skills.eu WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY? “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” ― Arthur C. Clarke “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ― R. Buckminster Fuller “Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.” ― Pablo Picasso “What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.” ― Steve Jobs “There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone' anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me'.” ― Philip K. Dick “Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.” ― Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means “The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.” ― Esther Dyson “As technology accumulates and people in more parts of the planet become interdependent, the hatred between them tends to decrease, for the simple reason that you can't kill someone and trade with him too.” ― Steven Pinker, The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature “Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which it was already but too easy to arrive at; as railroads lead to Boston or New York.

  • Peter Thiel: We're in a Bubble and It's Not the Internet. It's Higher Education
    Peter Thiel: We're in a Bubble and It's Not the Internet. It's Higher Education. SARAH LACY posted on Sunday, April 10th, 2011 Fair warning: This article will piss off a lot of you. I can say that with confidence because it’s about Peter Thiel. And Thiel – the PayPal co-founder, hedge fund manager and venture capitalist – not only has a special talent for making money, he has a special talent for making people furious. Some people are contrarian for the sake of getting headlines or outsmarting the markets. For Thiel, it’s simply how he views the world. Of course a side benefit for the natural contrarian is it frequently leads to things like headlines and money. Consider the 2000 Nasdaq crash. Thiel was one of the few who saw in coming. There’s a famous story about PayPal’s March 2000 venture capital round. The offer was “only” at a $500 million-or-so valuation. Nearly everyone on the board and the management team balked, except Thiel who calmly told the room that this was a bubble at its peak, and the company needed to take every dime it could right now. That’s how close PayPal came to being dot com roadkill a la WebVan or Pets.com. And after the crash, Thiel insisted there hadn’t really been a crash: He argued the equity bubble had simply shifted onto the housing market. Thiel was so convinced of this thesis that until recently, he refused to buy property, despite his soaring personal net worth.

  • How to Invest in Silicon Valley's Most Valuable Companies at Pre-IPO Prices
    How to Invest in Silicon Valley’s Most Valuable Companies at Pre-IPO Prices 1 Silicon Valley – the go-to funding source and epicenter of wealth creation in the technology sector – is about to produce another bumper crop of profits through a new round of IPOs. Companies like Airbnb, Dropbox, and Uber (among others) are all expected to go public soon. When they do, they’ll hand venture capital backers up to 1,000 times their investments, according to the latest data from CrunchBase. No, that’s not a typo… A mere $10,000 investment in each of these companies is about to be worth $10 million. You’d expect that everyday investors like us would be completely locked out of this IPO profit bonanza. At least, that’s what the media reports, and what average investors are led to believe. But our analysts have uncovered a loophole. It allows us to invest along with top tech venture capitalists. And not just any run-of-the-mill startup financiers. This simple loophole allows you to invest your money alongside the single greatest group of Silicon Valley wealth creators since Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. How to Invest in Silicon Valley’s Most Valuable Companies at Pre-IPO Prices 2 They’re affectionately known as the “PayPal Mafia.” Why? Because just like the mafia always get their man, the PayPal Mafia always nail their investments. And we’re about to show you how you can invest right alongside them. WHAT (OR RATHER, WHO) IS THE PAYPAL MAFIA? The PayPal Mafia is no “mafia” at all.

All rights reserved. Page !1 of !17 Executive summary Businesses face a multitude of employee problems that directly affect the bottom line: stress and anxiety, chronic illness and absenteeism, dissatisfaction and burnout, inattention and inefficiency, reduced creativity, and workplace conflict. Despite the time, money, and resources spent trying to resolve these problems, they continue to sap productivity, siphon off profits, and undermine employee morale. On-the-job trainings, morale-boosting retreats and conferences, system-wide interventions, counseling, coaching, psychotherapy, and the other tools in the EAP toolbox barely scratch the surface. Recently, a single, elegant, well-researched solution has emerged that can enable employees to be more relaxed, less stressed out, happier, healthier, more creative, more focused, and more productive. Employed by a growing list of major companies, including Google, Facebook, Target, eBay, Intel, and General Mills, this solution is known as mindfulness. Over 400 scientific studies have demonstrated the unparalleled effectiveness of mindfulness in reducing stress, lifting mood, increasing concentration, fostering creative thinking, improving decision-making, strengthening the immune system, and developing empathy and altruism.
