(In Silicon Valley, there's actually a term for this: "bro-grammers.")įemale entrepreneurs seeking funding for their startups are both ignored by investors who say they don't invest in women because they “ don't like the way women think" and hit on when they're trying to present their pitch decks and talk business. Some of the issues they cited are typical in many sales departments and startup offices: Employees work long hours there's significant employee burnout and turnover, and the staff is dominated by immature-sounding men. These former employees asked not to be named, citing nondisclosure agreements they signed while working for ZocDoc. The former employee who said she would file a lawsuit against the company did not end up taking ZocDoc to court.īut since then, more than half a dozen other former and current employees have spoken with Business Insider to discuss their experiences at the company, which mirror the woman's original complaints about ZocDoc's company culture. Its institutional investors include DST Global, Goldman Sachs, Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, and SV Angel. Last year, reports said the company was seeking to raise $152 million at a $1.6 billion valuation, adding to the $97.9 million war chest it's amassed over the years. ZocDoc, which was founded in 2007, is one of New York's biggest startups.
