A little-discussed issue is that big tech cos tend to do better on diversity and inclusion. Obviously it varies by startup, but when you’re in a survival mentality it is difficult to be open to people of different sexualities, races and experiences. You tend to get clumps of similar overachievers. Paul Graham said this was an “advantage” but for people like me in the LGBTQ community it certainly isn’t.
