Dave McClure resigns as general partner of 500 Startups

The question I have with all these resignations and apologies is whether the partners in question are still getting carry on their fund. Since it&#x27;s not addressed anywhere, I think it&#x27;s safe to assume the answer is yes.<p>I can&#x27;t imagine how shitty it is to have been harassed, and to then muster up the bravery to out the perpetrator, only for the harasser to continue to earn money on your work while they sun themselves on a beach somewhere.

500Startups still have serious questions to answer regarding how they handled this whole process as it seems to indicate deeper problems than just one person.<p>Most critically they need to address the claims (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;sarahkunst&#x2F;status&#x2F;881736309009764352" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;sarahkunst&#x2F;status&#x2F;881736309009764352</a>) that hush money was paid to silence victims because if that&#x27;s true then it&#x27;s clear evidence of an attempt to cover up the harassment rather than dealing with it.

I had to follow a string of links to understand this story better, but it sounds like this individual made advances towards coworkers and colleagues.<p>That got me thinking, on a nationwide basis, how many people would be resigning if they were to resign based on making advances to coworkers?<p>For anyone else curious, here&#x27;s a medium post from the linked article, written by the individual, referencing his behavior of advancing on women in work related environments.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;500hats.com&#x2F;im-a-creep-i-m-sorry-d2c13e996ea0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;500hats.com&#x2F;im-a-creep-i-m-sorry-d2c13e996ea0</a>

Still haven&#x27;t seen evidence of wrongdoing. 500 needs to be up front about this. Except a Facebook message to a non employee, we&#x27;re really given no information to judge such a serious punishment

What&#x27;s funny about this one is his self-righteous (and oft published) political views. &quot;I&#x27;m with her&quot;, indeed.
